Yasiel Puig and the Dodgers beat Washington Nationals' starter Joe Ross in Los Angeles

Washington Nationals' right-hander Joe Ross walked as many batters in 4 2/3 innings last night as he did in 45 innings before he faced the Los Angeles Dodgers... and Yasiel Puig hit a two-run homer and a three-run triple in the LA's 5-0 win.

The Los Angeles Dodgers' lineup was stacked with left-handers last night, hoping to take advantage of Joe Ross' early splits as a major league starter, (.297/.333/.541 vs LHBs; .161/.179/.161 vs RHBs), but it was a right-handed slugger that did most of the damage. Yasiel Puig drove in all the runs the Dodgers scored with a two-run home run and a three-run triple in LA's 5-0 win.
