Look Clayton Kershaw will get his 13th "W" of 2014 another CG allowing just one run. Tip your New Era 59/50 Game Cap to Chop Shop's Julio Teheran who gets the loss but goes eight allowing five hits and two runs while striking out nine. He also handed out three walks.

Unfortunately for Teheran his 1st inning shakiness caught up in the moment of trying to be too fine going against Kershaw allowed A-Gon to hit a RBI-Double to move the "Blue Crew" up 1-0. Then in the 3rd "Puig 66" goes Solo HR on a line drive to Left Field to make it 2-0 Dodgers.

Kershaw as cruising until the 9th as Justin Upton hit an infield single to score his Bro B.J. to make it 2-1 Dodgers. The biggest play of the game was Kershaw getting Braves First Baseman Freddie Freeman out swinging on a 3-2 count with Ducks at 1st and 2nd. Then Evan Gattis ground out in a force play as the Dodger win 2-1 as they gave Kenley Jansen (Dodgers Captain Save-A-Game) the night off.    

Dodgers finish the sweep of the Braves helping themselves and the NL East leading Nats. Dodgers up 3.5 on Giants at 62-47. The Braves fall to 58-51 but they are 1.5 games back of the Nats.
