Here he comes and what you did was create a monster for the 2nd half of business in the Show! Dodgers Ace and LHP Clayton Kershaw dba "Redemption 22" #22 of Under Armour Hardball goes eight shutout frames striking out 14 Nats Hitters.

Los Angeles leading 1-0 in the 5th put up a crooked three up on Nats starter Doug Fister ending his afternoon going five allowing four runs on nine hits.  LAD then led 4-0 into the 9th when Dodger Captain Save-A-Game Kenley Jansen made it real interesting like only he can.

With on Manny Burriss on the bags it was All-Star Bryce Harper dba "Bam 34" taking Jansen deep for his 27th a two-run blast making it 4-2 Dodgers as that would be the final. Kershaw had to be thinking as he was watching with all his 1st half misfortunes , "Here we go again"!

Nats Hitters Michael Taylor, Yunel Escobar, "Bam 34", and Clint Robinson all drew the Collar facing Kershaw each striking out three times. Kershaw grabs his 7th "W" as Fister drops to 3-5.

LAD also moves to 52-40 as they dropped the Suspended Game from last night before this game 5-3 as the Nats get a two-run bomb in the 8th from Matt den Dekker. Washington falls to 49-39 in the NL East...
