Clayton Kershaw, Dodgers emerge with win over Nationals
June 21 - Miguel Rojas hit a two-run home run and Clayton Kershaw inched closer to 3,000 career strikeouts as the Los Angeles Dodgers earned a 6-5 victory over the visiting Washington Nationals on Friday. Kershaw (3-0) gave up two runs on five hits and two walks in five innings. He fanned four, to move within eight of becoming the 20th pitcher with 3,000 strikeouts and the fourth left-hander. Andy Pages had an RBI single in a three-run third inning and Shohei Ohtani reached base three times with an RBI single as the Dodgers rebounded from a loss to the San Diego Padres on Thursday while improving to 9-3 since June 8. Amed Rosario, Riley Adams and CJ Abrams homered for the Nationals, who had ended an 11-game losing streak Thursday. Rosario gave the Nationals a 1-0 lead as the second batter of the game when he homered off Kershaw, his fourth. The Dodgers took the lead for good in the third. Mookie Betts' fielder's-choice grounder scored Enrique Hernandez for a 1-1 tie. Los Angeles took a 2-1 lead on a two-out infield single from Teoscar Hernandez when shortstop Abrams was unable to get a force out at second base. Pages singled for the third run of the inning. The Dodgers went up 4-1 in the fourth on Ohtani's run-scoring single before the Nationals got the run back on Adams' leadoff homer in the fifth, his third. Rojas' two-run home run in the sixth, his third, knocked Washington starter MacKenzie Gore from the game. Gore (3-7) gave up six runs (five earned) on seven hits in 5 2/3 innings with four walks and four strikeouts. The Nationals pulled within 6-4 in the seventh inning on a two-run double from Luis Garcia Jr. One batter later, with two runners in scoring position, Los Angeles left fielder Michael Conforto preserved the lead with a diving catch. Dodgers left-hander Tanner Scott gave up Abrams' home run in the ninth before finishing off his 15th save. The blast was Abrams' 10th of the year. Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts served a one-game suspension Friday after benches cleared without incident in the team's Thursday game against the San Diego Padres. --Field Level Media

Clayton Kershaw wins 3rd straight start, Miguel Rojas homers in Dodgers' 6-5 win over Nationals
Clayton Kershaw persevered through five tough innings to win his third consecutive start, and Miguel Rojas hit a two-run homer in the Los Angeles Dodgers' 6–5 victory over the Washington Nationals on Friday night. Kiké Hernández had two doubles and scored two runs, and Shohei Ohtani added an RBI single for the defending World Series champions. Los Angeles has won six of seven, improving to 6–2 on its 10-game homestand. Kershaw (3–0) yielded solo homers by Amed Rosario and Riley Adams but held Washington to five hits and repeatedly escaped trouble. Tanner Scott gave up CJ Abrams' one-out homer in the ninth before finishing his 15th save. Pinch-hitter Luis García Jr. had a two-run double in the seventh for the Nationals, who opened a nine-game Southern California road trip by falling to 3–15 in June. Washington snapped an 11-game losing streak on Thursday. MacKenzie Gore (3–7) gave up a season-high six runs – five earned – seven hits and four walks while pitching into the sixth for the Nationals. He has one victory in his last 11 starts. Hernández doubled and scored in the third when Mookie Betts beat out the relay throw on a potential inning-ending double play. Betts then scored on Abrams' throwing error, and Andy Pages added an RBI single. Adams homered in the fifth, but Rojas' homer chased Gore in the sixth. Bench coach Danny Lehmann managed the Dodgers while Dave Roberts served a one-game suspension after his ejection from LA's loss to San Diego on Thursday. Key moment: After García's two-out double with the bases loaded, Washington had two runners in scoring position when Nathaniel Lowe hit a tailing fly to left. Michael Conforto dove forward and made a dramatic catch. Key stat: The 37-year-old Kershaw has won three straight starts for the first time since April 2023, coming through when the Dodgers' rotation is badly depleted by injuries.

Dodgers' Mookie Betts teases injury return
The post Dodgers' Mookie Betts teases injury return appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Los Angeles Dodgers can sweep the New York Yankees with a win on Sunday night. After embarrassing the Bombers in the World Series, they have picked up where they left off in the regular season. Even more impressive is that they have done it without one of their former MVPs. Mookie Betts has not played in this series for the Dodgers while dealing with a toe injury. While he won't play on Sunday, Betts has teased his return. Advertisement 'Mookie Betts says he's feeling better and expects to be back in the Dodgers lineup in the next couple of days,' USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported. 'Dodgers 'Mookie Betts says his fractured toe has improved enough to put a shoe on today,' Bill Plunkett of the Los Angeles Times posted. 'Will do some work pregame, see where he stands. Still optimistic he'll be in lineup soon.' Betts has not played since the final game of the Guardians series on May 28. In that series, he went just 2-14 with one RBI. Miguel Rojas has played shortstop in each of the first two games of the Dodgers-Yankees series. Even though LA has scored 26 runs in the series, Rojas does not have a hit. The Dodgers have dealt with their fair share of injuries this season, including to Betts. Freddie Freeman, Will Smith, Roki Sasaki, and Tyler Glasnow have all missed time this season. With the stiff National League competition, they have dealt with some losses this year. But when the American League foes come into town, the Dodgers have been feasting. The Dodgers and Yankees could conceivably face off again in the World Series this October. Los Angeles has dominated New York this weekend in ways the Bombers have not yet seen. Although there is a long way until the Fall Classic, Dodgers fans have to be optimistic after this weekend without Betts.
