That inning turned into a 9-run 7th Inning. Dodgers were thankful Max Scherzer was pulled after the 6th Inning. That inning was the Dodgers fielding deodorant, as they overcame 4 errors. For the Nationals, the injury bug continues to plague them. As Kyle Schwarber left the game, with a possible hamstring pull. Same two teams tomorrow night. As Clayton Kershaw will start the LA. Nationals will go with Paolo Espino. This is Paul Shishkoff, Junior. This has been 'Live-Blogging Shish on Baseball'. Thanks for visiting this page.
