Once again, a dominant left-hander utterly shut down the Braves and scored the winning run himself. There’s no particular shame in losing the Clayton Kershaw, the best pitcher in baseball and one of the greatest of all time.
But after getting three-hit by Kershaw in his six innings of work, our boys mustered a total of two hits and one walk against the Dodger bullpen, while Brian Snitker demonstrated that he has just as little an idea as Fredi of how to get through the eighth inning. It was 1-0 until that fateful eighth.
