By David Arthur/Orange County Tribune

How high can they go? The undefeated Los Angeles Dodgers won rheir seventh consecutive victory on Tuesday, besting the winless Atlanta Braves 3-2 and looking a lot like the team that stormed to the World Series crown last year.

With each win, the Blue Crew extends its team-record start to 7-0. Against the Braves at Chavez Ravine, the Dodgers did it with some timely hitting and strong pitching performance by Dustin May.

The key hit was a two-run home run by Mookie Betts in the sixth inning that gave the Dodgers a 2-1 lead.

On the pitchers’ mound, May was impressive, working five innings and giving up just one hit and one run. He struck out six batters and walked three.

The Dodgers will try to make it eight straight on Wednesday.against the Braves.
