Braves batter Blake Snell for five runs in 7-2 win over Dodgers to end losing streak in Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ozzie Albies and Matt Olson each had two RBIs and the Atlanta Braves rocked Blake Snell for five runs in three innings in his season debut for a 7-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night.

Spencer Strider (1-0) threw six scoreless innings, Austin Riley, Michael Harris II and Drake Baldwin each drove in a run, and the Braves snapped an eight-game losing streak at Dodger Stadium.

Snell (0-1) had been dealing with left shoulder fatigue, delaying the start of his season after missing much of 2025 because of a left shoulder injury before contributing in the playoffs to the Dodgers’ second consecutive World Series title. He had been scheduled to make one more rehabilitation start in the minors, but Los Angeles moved him up with the hope Snell would able to throw five innings.

Instead, Snell was pulled after allowing four earned runs, six hits and two walks on 77 pitches with five strikeouts.

Snell immediately found himself in a bases-loaded jam with no outs in the first inning, but he limited the damage to one run.

The Braves again loaded the bases in the second, and they capitalized to take a 5-0 lead when Albies stretched out to connect on a two-run single, followed up by Olson's two-run single.

Andy Pages prevented the shutout with a two-run homer in the ninth for the Dodgers.

There was a pregame moment of silence honoring longtime Braves manager Bobby Cox, who died Saturday, and former Braves owner Ted Turner, the media mogul who died Wednesday.

The Braves will go with Bryce Elder (3-1, 2.02 ERA) in the series finale on Sunday. He has allowed a .136 batting average over 19 2/3 innings in three road starts this season. Justin Wrobleski (5-0, 1.25) has allowed two earned runs in 32 innings during a five-game winning streak for the Dodgers.

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 12, 2026--

Versa, the global leader in unified security and networking, today announced Versa Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), extending the VersaONE Universal SASE Platform to provide continuous visibility, prioritization, and remediation of cloud risk across environments. The announcement was made at Versa’s annual Versatility conference, held May 11–13, 2026, in Santa Clara.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260512417502/en/

With CSPM, Versa combines secure access protection and cloud posture risk on a single platform, delivering the visibility security teams need to quantify and reduce enterprise cyber exposure.

For years, security has evolved in silos. Access is protected, but cloud misconfiguration risk remains fragmented and hard to see. Access security alone is not enough. Versa CSPM adds continuous visibility into the cloud risks that cause most breaches.

From Secure Access to Unified Risk Intelligence

Versa CSPM continuously identifies, assesses, prioritizes and remediates misconfigurations and compliance risks across major multi-cloud environments, including Google Cloud Platform, Azure, AWS, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. It continuously evaluates cloud configurations in real time, checks them against widely used security standards, and prioritizes risks based on severity and exposure — not alert volume. Security teams can drill down from high-level dashboards to specific resources and remediation actions.

Combined with Versa Universal SASE, the platform brings cloud posture risk and access risk into a more unified operational view across the enterprise, helping close visibility gaps created by fragmented point tools.

"Cloud risk and access risk are two sides of the same exposure, and security teams cannot afford to manage them in separate tools," said Anusha Vaidyanathan, Senior Director, Product Management, Versa. "Most enterprises today look at access and cloud posture through entirely different consoles, with no shared context. Versa CSPM brings them together on a single platform, extending the VersaONE Universal SASE Platform with continuous cloud risk assessment alongside our existing access protection, so security teams can quantify and reduce enterprise exposure faster, with less complexity."
