Having won the first two games of the series, the Los Angeles Dodgers now go for a sweep of the Washington Nationals at Dodger Stadium. The Sunday afternoon matchup is notable for multiple reasons, with one being the pitching clash between future Hall of Famers Clayton Kershaw and Max Scherzer.
It’s the third time Kershaw and Scherzer meet during the regular season, with the first also being at Dodger Stadium on Sept. 7, 2008. Scherzer was with the Arizona Diamondbacks at the time, and the Dodgers won 5-3. Scherzer then got some revenge in 2018, with the Nationals earning a 5-2 victory.
