Recap: Dodgers Beat Nats 3-2 Thanks To Grandal Homer!

Tuesday’s game was quite the nail-biter, mainly because the offense was nowhere to be found most of the game! Then again, it may just be that the Dodgers’ bats have spoiled fans the past week with a plethora of runs.

Tonights game was looking to bring fans back to reality, that is until Grandal put the team on his back leading the team to a 3-2 victory over the Nationals! Let’s take a look at the highlights!

Before the game kicked off, Gagne paid his respects to the new franchise leader in saves, Kenley Jansen. #ClassAct

Unfortunately, the game would take a quick turn for the worst thanks to Harper.

The game would grow stale after Harper’s home run, that is until another Nationals’ homer followed.

Nationals add one in the fifth on a solo home run by Danny Espinosa. #Dodgers now trail, 2-0.
