VIDEO: Top 5 Best Moments from Dodgers Wild 4-3 Win vs. Nationals
The Los Angeles Dodgers swept the Washington Nationals on Wednesday after a wild ending. Yasiel Puig stunned his home crowd in a huge way after hitting a single to drive in Howie Kendrick. Then in proper “wild horse fashion” circled the bases on an error and scored to win the game 4-3.
In the first inning Chase Utley scored his 1,000th run, while in the 3rd inning Corey Seager hit his 16th home run of the year.

Editorial: Dodgers In Need of a 2013 Type of Streak
Did anyone else notice that Woodward appeared to be mad that Puig went through his stop sign? Right after Puig blew past him, he punched the air. I don’t know if it was because he knew Puig was gonna make it or if he was pissed that Puig went through his stop sign and he thought he was gonna be thrown out. Right after Puig scored, the whole team ran out to celebrate and you can see Woodward dodging players on their way onto the field so he can get back into the dugout. I think he wasn’t happy!!!
josephmadura That was definitely a punch of excitement.
