Dodgers weather storm and win series against Nationals
LA TimesThe Dodgers’ Max Muncy high-fives after he scored on a single by Jason Heyward in the first inning against the Nationals. That last topic resurfaced following Sunday’s game, when manager Dave Roberts announced that Kershaw’s next start was pushed back from Monday to Friday. While Roberts said earlier this week that Kershaw has been dealing with lingering effects from a shoulder injury he sustained earlier this year — the most notable one, a sudden drop recently in fastball velocity — the manager insisted Sunday the decision to push back his start was not related to the left-hander’s health. “There’s a lot of things up in the air that we didn’t expect,” Roberts said flatly this weekend when asked about the club’s recent turn of unforeseen events. Really exciting.” While the Dodgers’ offense was able to provide seven runs of support in Yarbrough’s start — keyed by two RBIs from Jason Heyward and four hits from Miguel Rojas — they had to do so after suffering yet another injury.
