The Dodgers were able to take 2 of 3 from Bryce Harpers Nationals in a potential National League post season get together. This series was hard to judge whether the outcome of the Dodgers taking 2 of 3 would be similar in the post season due to the pitchers who went from either side. The Nationals didn’t have their top 2 guys going as the Dodgers had Kershaw and Greinke start games 2 and 3 of the series. Greinke and Kershaw again aloud 0 runs combined in their 2 back to back starts against the Nationals which seems to be a common occurrence at this time in the season. Yasiel Puig had a big series for the Dodgers as he drove in 5 runs alone in game 2 backing up a solid outing by ace Zach Greinke. Kershaw who took the ball next in game 3, did what he usually does which is striking out a lot of batters and throwing up zeroes. I believe he didn’t allow a hit until the 5th inning where Michael Taylor who racked up the majority of the nationals hits doubled into the outfield. Despite giving up a couple hits too Michael Taylor, the Nationals were shut out, and shut out in consecutive outings. The Dodgers look for a starter not named Greinke or Kershaw to help out the rotation and pick up a win against a struggling Reds team who will take on the Dodgers Thursday night as Matt Latos looks to improve his record in his first home start sinking joining the Dodgers over the trade deadline. Interesting note is this will be the first time Latos pitches against the team who valued him as their ace 2 just two years ago.
