Moribund only a few days ago, the Dodgers captured their fourth victory in a row Sunday and completed a sweep of the Nationals with a 7-2 victory at Nationals Park.
Befuddled in recent days by fallen stars like Matt Harvey, aging veterans like Wei-Yin Chen and relative unknowns like Elieser Hernandez, the Dodgers (20-26) managed to defeat perennial All-Stars Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg in consecutive games this weekend. On Sunday they tagged Strasburg with a pair of home runs, including a two-run shot by Enrique Hernandez. The blast broke a streak of 17 consecutive solo home runs for the Dodgers.
