The Nationals stomped the Dodgers, 8-3, yesterday in Los Angeles, and are now just one win away from their first trip to the NLCS since the franchise moved from Montreal in 2005. The Expos played in the NLCS once, losing 4-1 to the Dodgers in 1981.

The Dodgers have a best-of-five record of 2-4 all-time when trailing the matchup 2-1. Los Angeles last won a series after dropping two of the first three games in 1981 -- the NLCS against the Expos (lost four straight such series since).

Jayson Werth went 3-for-4 with a homer and three RBI yesterday, and is batting .417 in the first three games of the 2016 postseason. Dating to the last game of the 2009 NLCS while still with the Phillies, Werth is 8-for-16 with three home runs and six RBI in his last four playoff games versus the Dodgers.

Carlos Ruiz hit a two-run pinch-hit home run off Gio Gonzalez yesterday in his second at-bat of the 2016 postseason. Ruiz now has three hits versus the Nationals this season (regular and post), all of which have left the yard.

Joe Ross returned from a stint on the 60-day DL on September 18, going 0-1 with a 2.79 ERA in 9.2 IP (three starts) to end the regular season. Ross, who will be making his first career postseason appearance today, is 0-1 with a 5.73 ERA in two all-time starts against the Dodgers (both at Dodger Stadium).

Clayton Kershaw went 5.0 innings and allowed three runs (all earned) in Game 1 of this matchup, winning his second straight playoff outing (dating to last season), and improving to 3-6 with a 4.52 ERA in 11 career postseason starts overall. Kershaw has never won a playoff game at Dodger Stadium (0-3, 5.28 ERA in five starts).
