Pretty exciting finale, huh? The Dodgers and Nationals set a record for pitching changes in a series* (I think it was 44, but it’s possible they actually made a couple more even after the game ended) capped off by Kenley Jansen throwing a million pitches (or 51) over 2.1 innings before giving way to Clayton Kershaw to close it out. The lefty starter, who had gone 6.2 innings Tuesday night, only needed seven pitches to record the final two outs.
The game had a little bit of everything: home runs, strategic moves, Jayson Werth being inexplicably sent from third and being thrown out by three-quarters of a country mile.
