Nationals vs. Dodgers Game Highlights (6/20/25) | MLB Highlights

Clayton Kershaw coming off those seven scoreless innings against the Giants and ready to face off for the Washington Nationals on a beautiful night for baseball here in L A curve is lifted to center field for Andy Paez and we’re off and rolling with the first out of the night. Ahmed Rosario will stand in getting the start at second base. Rosario launches the deep left back on it. Conforto. This balls out of here. Ahmed Rosario ambushes and the nats out to a very early one nothing lead in L A elevate to celebrate four seed fastball top and a man is ready to go. What a way to start here on the road for the boys guarantee. Mackenzie’s on the top step right now. Loving it short and compact. Getting through that front side. What a blast. It’s the nationals one and the Dodgers nothing. And now a prime time matchup Kershaw against Wood, they got Abrams who’s an all star shortstop and they got this guy Wood who’s one of the best young hitters in the game grounds out to first two way in the third. The curve is grounded up the middle on the other side of the bag backhands it and get to finish off. The first home run from Rosario has the Nats on the board as the Dodgers come to bat against Mackenzie Gore. Gore. 26 years of age, last time out, a tough luck loser against Miami two runs over six innings. 16th start of the season, 3 to 6289. Those are all phenomenal oi homered and tripled against score back in April. That’s low ball 44 pitch walk to , to start things off for the Dodgers and the time run is aboard for Mookie bench jam still going to muscle this one out to deep short where CJ retreats to grab it and it brings up Will Smith right in front of the plate. Foul ball is the call. This is huge right here because of him being out out of the box when he touched that ball runner has to go back to first base. So that’s a huge moment right there. That Will Smith takes off. He’s gonna try to avoid it. There you go. A lot of mobility going on right there. You’re out comes her. That was the cutter to the outside edge Hernandez couldn’t pull the trigger. Mackenzie gets his first strikeout of the night and he puts up a scoreless first to keep the nationals up 1 to 0 early. It takes a four pitch walk to open the second, the heart of the lineup. Now with Brady House coming to the plate 0 to 2 from Kershaw gets a swing and a miss and his first strikeout of the game 2989 for his career one on one out. Alex call stands in going to ground one through the hole on the right side. Second baseman Edmon playing all the way up the middle. The nats have two men on with one out and Riley Adams to the plate chopper to third to second one around the horn to the side in the second four and Khaw has walked his second man and with one out, he’ll face Ahmed Rosario. Rosario again laced out to right. Ahmed Rosario a productive night , a homer in a single, the Nationals for the second inning in a row, have two on with one out this time. They have James Wood coming to the plate. Kershaw strikes him out here two away in the third. So 10 away from 3000 with his second of the game right there and it’s up to the clean up and strikes him out back to back third of the night nine away from 3000 2.5 nationals won Dodgers Dodgers down a run to the bottom of the third and Hernandez bangs a high line drive to center field that young won’t get to bounces over the wall for a leadoff double for Hernandez his first hit since June 7th. Gore Lunges to get it up to third goes hernandez one away back to the top to takes ball four. So two walks from Gore, both of them to Tony and they’re at the corners for best chopper left side, speared by House goes to second one. Open a first in time, a double play and the Dodgers will say hang on, call back to the video room to see if Betts perhaps got there in time to tie this game and they’re going to challenge, look like Rosario had a hard time getting it out of his glove and it might have cost the Nats a run wasn’t a smooth transition. That’s a good challenge right there. Tied to one walk issued by, go ahead run moves into scoring position first and second in two outs for Teoscar Hernandez slaps it up the middle diving stop from Abrams but the second is for the plate and the Dodgers take the lead mckenzie Nationals. You’re sitting there walking off of the field thinking the inning is over. But the challenge overturns the double play which leads to the first run and a couple of hitters later after a walk, they get the go ahead run at second to Oscar at first and one strike count on and with another screamer of a base hit, it’s a two out run scoring single for Andy Paz and the Dodgers lead it 3 to 11 ball. No strikes to miguel Rojas, two men out bases empty towards the right field corner that’s going to find double for the Dodger nine hitter to get Otani to the plate in the fourth, important to get on base and even more important to get into scoring position in front of shohei Otani who has walked twice. This is off the glove of Adams up to third goes Rostan with the infield back outfield playing him a couple of steps toward right knocks in. So a two out burst in a 4 to 1 lead and so to who came in one for his last 12 has a perfect night going two walks and an RB I single 891 for the Nats here in the fifth and it’s 22. Now on Riley Adams this one to deep left, he’s done it again. Riley Adams leaves the yard six hits on the year, three of them for Homers and he busts a long hitless streak second solo homer of the night for the Nationals off Kershaw and the Nationals get one back quickly here in the top of the fifth inning. It’s now Los Angeles four in Washington two and now Jacob Young Scoots one past the mound back to back hits for the Nets here off Kershaw and Then I’ll get it to the top of the order first to have reached here in the fifth after the 1234, the top of the lineup here with Abrams on a 22. He takes strike fourth for Kershaw eight from 3000. Jam Rosario one out eight pitch to Rosario grounded straight to short Rojas clean hands to get him away. So they retire Rosario for the first time today and it’s James Wood with two away scalded up the middle but Betts is there perfectly positioned to get wood halfway home in a 4 to 2 game, hernandez at first three of the four runs. The Dodgers have scored tonight have come with two outs. Here’s a high fly ball to deep left field. It is gone. Finds the seats. Dodgers 6 to 2 and what a knockout punch they’ve delivered to go. Luis Garc-a Junior is going to pinch hit for Andres Chaparro with the bases loaded two down in the top of the seventh garcia lines one through the right side. Luis Garc-a Junior, a pinch hit two run double. The NATS have cut the deficit in half here in the seventh and the tying run into scoring position. Lowe Digs in zero for two tonight with a walk another payoff back up with the fastball to keep the Dodgers in front. What a play and that gets the Dodgers out of the inning. So one away in the ninth inning , Abrams one for three out to right center on to the track at the wall. It’s out of here. CJ A cut the deficit in half here in the ninth inning. It’s six to five. So the nationals are down to their last out and it will be James Wood ground ball to second back Tommy Edmond. The late rally from the Nationals makes this a nail biter but the Dodgers win it and start this series on a high note.
