Matt den Dekker's home run in the eighth inning of the first game of two on Saturday became even more important when the Washington Nationals ran into a dominant Los Angeles Dodgers' lefty Clayton Kershaw in the second game of the three-game set.
The Washington Nationals took the field on Saturday afternoon in D.C. with a 3-2 lead in the conclusion of Friday night's suspended game, but one out into the top of the sixth, where action picked up, the Los Angeles Dodgers tied it up with first baseman Adrian Gonzalez taking Tanner Roark deep for an opposite field blast, his second of the game and 20th of the 2015 campaign.
