Dodger Stadium
GAME 1
Hutchinson vs Kershaw
Dodgers 8, IL 1
The IL All-Stars were no match for the great Clayton Kershaw and the Dodger bats. LA jumped out to a 3 run lead in the bottom of the 1st and ever looked back. Afte the IL scored a solo run in the 2nd the Dodgers returned the favor with 3 more in the 4th and 2 in the 8th. Chris Taylor (3-4) had 2 runs scored, 2 RBI's courtesy of a double and a triple. Kershaw gave up 1 on 4 hits in 6 innings, but only fanned 4. Ross Stripling (2IP) and Sergio Romo (1IP) put up goose eggs over the final 3 stanzas.

Dodger bats could not get on track, but when Alex Wood gives up 1 un-earned run on 3 hits over 7 innings, you're gonna' win a lot more games than you lose. LA strung together 3 consecutive singles in the home half of the 1st to take a 1-0 lead, which went away in the 4th on a passed ball. LA scored the go ahead / eventual winning run in the 7th when Kike Hernandez led off with double and scored on a Utley ground out after a botched throw by catcher Alfaro on a bunt by Alex Wood. Brandon Morrow and Kenley Jansen fanned 4 of the 6 batters they faced to blow away the IL All-Stars in their final 2 chances to tie it. Jansen earned the save.
Dodgers lead series 2-0
GAME 3
Hill vs Eshelman
Dodgers 2, IL 0
Once again the Dodger arms stymied the IL's bats. Rich Hill fanned 11 scattered 4 hits in 7 shut out innings of work. Josh Field and Jansen got the final 6 outs to lock down the series. LA only had 4 hits themselves, but made them count by stringing 3 of them together in the 4th to score the only 2 runs of the game. Justin Turner, who had 2 of the 4 hits, led off with a single. Cody Bellinger walked and Yasmani Grandal singled home Turner. Puig grounded into a double play, but in the process Bellinger scored the second and final run of the game.

Editor's Note: Special thanks to Scot Gordon, who had to endure connectivity issues, then waited for me to come home from Philly to sub for Keith. Scot did a gr8 job keep the IL AS's close in games 2 and 3, which easily could have gone the other way.
