Nationals Bats Cooled Off By Kershaw In 4-1 Loss

Kershaw pitched eight strong innings for his major-league leading 17th win and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Nationals 4-1 Tuesday night. Kershaw (17-3) gave up three hits and one run, walked two and struck out eight to win his third straight start and lower his ML-leading ERA to 1.70. The Nationals came in with 14 home runs in their previous four games, including four against the Dodgers on Monday. Kershaw quickly quieted their bats, working through six shutout innings before giving up a solo homer to Bryce Harper in the seventh, his only blip of the night. Gordon raced home from second on Gonzalez's single when shortstop Ian Desmond's throw to the plate sailed over the head of catcher Wilson Ramos. Juan Uribe added a two-run homer in the sixth to extend the Dodgers lead to 4-0, and that was enough for Kershaw and closer Kenley Jansen. Gonzalez went 2 for 3 with a walk, Carl Crawford and A.J.
