Dodgers-Braves: Freddie Freeman was booed and robbed of a home run in his return to Atlanta. He got revenge in his next at-bat

Freddie Freeman delivered countless clutch moments in the five seasons he played at Truist Park with the Atlanta Braves.

On Tuesday, he delivered one for the visitors after being greeted with boos and being robbed of a home run in Game 3 of the National League Division Series .

With his Los Angeles Dodgers holding a 2-0 lead thanks to a Kiké Hernández home run in the fourth inning, Freeman followed with one of his own two batters later.

With the bases clear and two outs in frame, Braves starter Chris Sale threw a sinker down and inside. Freeman turned on it and sent it clear over the right-field wall.

The solo shot extended the Dodgers' lead to 3-0 and and provided redemption for Freeman after he was robbed of a home run just one inning earlier.

With a man on and no outs in the third, Freeman hit a deep shot off Sale that appeared destined to clear the short fence in left field.

But Mauricio Dubón had a bead on the ball off the bat from his position in left. He leapt in front of the Dodgers' bullpen and corralled the ball before it cleared the fence.

Replay shows that the ball was almost certainly going over the fence had Dubón not gotten there to make the play.

That home-run robbery came on the heels of Freeman being greeted with boos from the Atlanta crowd, who went on to cheer his first-inning strikeout.

But Freeman is a former MVP and three-time World Series champion for a reason. He wasn't fazed by the moment or the hostile Atlanta crowd on Tuesday.

Freeman won his MVP and his first World Series title with the Braves during his 12 seasons with the franchise. Tuesday marked his first playoff game in Atlanta since he left to sign with the Dodgers, whom he has since helped lead to two World Series championships.

There will surely be a chance for Braves fans to celebrate Freeman again after he's retired. But for now, there's no love lost with a trip to the NLCS on the line.

And there's no backing down from Freeman.
