An expected pitcher’s duel between Clayton Kershaw and Max Scherzer lived up to its billing, with the Los Angeles Dodgers scratching out a 3-0 win over the Washington Nationals behind a misread in the outfield.
The Dodgers, at 8-2, sport the best record in baseball, have won all three series thus far and have their first sweep of the year. Conversely, the Nationals are mired in a five-game losing streak.
Scherzer held the Dodgers to just xx hits, yet was tabbed for the loss. With two outs and Max Muncy on first base, Zach McKinstry lifted a fly ball to deep left-center field.
