WASHINGTON -- With an exploding fastball and a vanishing curveball, Clayton Kershaw's toolbox already contained the weapons to dominate. Add to it the best slider the National League MVP thinks he has had all season and it became an unfair fight on Saturday in the Dodgers' 4-2 win against the Nationals.
"It's probably as close as I can remember his stuff being to his no-hitter day back last June," catcher A.J. Ellis said.
