Aníbal Sánchez got off to a rough start, with three of the first four batters he faced singling as the Los Angeles Dodgers jumped out to a 1-0 lead, but after LA loaded the bases later in the first, he retired 20-straight batters and left the game after seven innings with the score still the same.
Dodgers’ starter Hyun-Jin Ryu picked up where he left off when he faced the Nats in Dodger Stadium in May, with eight scoreless on the mound that day and six scoreless to start today, but the Nationals put up a run in the seventh and knocked him out of the game, 1-1.
