It was billed as the game to watch on Sunday and for the Weekend coming out of the All-Star Break. The L.A. Dodgers losers of game 1 of this three-piece knew they had a good chance to take games two and three with Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke going Saturday and Sunday.
As we roll the credits on the series Kershaw struck out 14 on Saturday for the "W" and Greinke out dueled Nats Ace Mad Max Scherzer in the rubber game striking out eleven. Greinke at 9-2 and moving his ERA lower than that sparkling 1.399 ERA he had coming in dominated that Nats Line Up. At one point in the contest the "Greinkster" retired the first seven hitters he faced to begin the game after he retired 21 in a row last outing.
Mad Max Scherzer only run he gave up was on a Wild Pitch (WP) in the 4th scoring Dodger OF Andre Ethier. Then in the 9th the Dodgers tacked on four runs on three singles as they go onto win 5-0. Scherzer takes the loss dropping to 10-7 going six giving up seven hits and a run striking out eight.
LAD moves to 53-40 while the Nats fall to 49-41. Both Howie Kendrick and Ethier collected three hits for Dodger Blue with Yasiel Puig getting two Ribbies!
