On a night Clayton Kershaw struggled to find his command, the Dodgers held on for a 4-3 victory over the Washington Nationals in Game 1 of their best-of-five NLDS. Kershaw exited after five with a 4-3 lead, and the bullpen gave up only one hit in the final four innings to preserve the victory, with Kenley Jansen getting the final five outs. Corey Seager homered in the first, Chase Utley singled in a run in the second and Justin Turner hit a two-run shot in the third to provide the Dodgers with all the runs they would need.
