Max Fried looked right at home and Kenley Jansen was up to his old tricks on the Dodger Stadium mound.

Fried opened with five perfect innings and Jansen closed for a save against his former team Tuesday night as the duo pitched the Atlanta Braves to a 3-1 victory over Los Angeles that snapped the Dodgers' seven-game winning streak.

Fried, a Los Angeles-area native, made his sixth career start at Dodger Stadium including playoff games. He did not allow a baserunner until Hanser Alberto led off the bottom of the sixth with a line-drive single to right field.

In seven scoreless innings of work, Fried (1-2) gave up two hits with eight strikeouts and no walks.

"I’ve definitely had some rough ones here so to be able to come out and have a good start, and put us in position to win, that was my goal," Fried said.

Jansen, the Dodgers’ longtime closer, earned his third save of the season for the Braves with a 1-2-3 ninth. He ended the game by getting former Atlanta star Freddie Freeman to fly out to center.

"It was fun, man. Honestly, it was fun," said Jansen, who entered with 185 saves at Dodger Stadium, all in a Los Angeles jersey. "It was emotional a little bit and you just try to control it on the mound. … I got the three outs and it felt good."

Jansen said he wasn’t offended at hearing some boos from the crowd of 50,000-plus at Dodger Stadium.

"There were cheers and boos, but I understand,"
