Dodgers Edge Past Nationals in April Matchup, 8-6
The Los Angeles Dodgers picked up a win against the Washington Nationals on April 5th, taking the game 8-6. It wasn't a blowout, but the Dodgers found enough offense to get the job done in what turned out to be a competitive back-and-forth affair at the ballpark.
Dodgers Offense Does Enough
LA's bats came alive just enough to push across eight runs and secure the victory. The Nationals fought back and scored six of their own, keeping this one interesting throughout. It's the kind of early April game that tells you a team has some teeth offensively, even if the defense or pitching might not have been spotless. Both teams found ways to score, but the Dodgers just had one more run than they needed when the final out was recorded.
