Coming into their NLDS match-up with the Washington Nationals, the Dodgers knew runs would be tough to come by. Still, for a team that scored the most runs in the National League, the Dodgers expected to be able to do enough offensively to beat the Nationals’ three headed monster of Max Scherzer, Patrick Corbin, and Stephen Strasburg.
The Dodgers’ offensive woes continued in game four on Monday evening as the blue left seven runners on base and went 0-8 with runners in scoring position. The best opportunity came in the seventh inning as the Dodgers loaded the bases with one out against Max Scherzer.
