game 1
BAY 7 9 3 (Lohse(L), Clippard, Britton)
BRO 8 11 0 (Dickey(W), Allen(S))
BRO plates 7 in the first inning on 6 hits and two costly BAY errors. The big blow was a 3 run HR by Pence. It looked to be a rout but BAY started chipping away, with runs in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th, two of them via HRs by Stanton and Rendon. After scoring 4 times in the top of the 4th, including a 2 run shot by Gattis, BAY closed the gap to 7-6 but that is where the scoring ended.
game 2
BAY 5 12 1 (Hernandez(L), Morin, Jepsen, Hunter)
BRO 7 12 0 (Duffy(W), Boxberger, Shaw, Walden, Allen(S))
With the score tied at 1 in the 5th inning, an error did in BAY again. A two base miscue by Stanton with two men on led to 3 unearned runs that gave the Dodgers the lead for good. The Brahs quickly responded with two runs of their own the next inning on a two run blast by PH Ramirez, but BRO responded with two more in the bottom of the inning on extra base knocks by Seager and Grandal. A HR by Cabrera closed out the scoring but it was too little, too late.
game 3
BAY 1 6 1 (Roark(L), Britton, Clippard, Hunter, Smith)
BRO 3 5 0 (Scherzer(W), Allen(S))
After coming close but just falling short in the first two games, the Brahs hoped to salvage a little pride and get in the win column in game 3. After Reyes homered with one out in the first, Roark lost his cool and plunked Gordon, leading to a benches clearing brawl. Both players were ejected. Gordons replacement, Schafer, eventually scored on a SF by Cano and that was all the runs the Dodgers needed. Scherzer gave up a HR to Santana in the third but was in command most of the rest of the way. He was looking to go the distance but tired in the 9th. With two outs and the tying runs aboard, Allen came in and got Ramirez to fly out, giving him his third save of the series.
series: BRO 3-0
injuries: none
