Clayton Kershaw had a great day and Ricky Nolasco had a bad day, and the Dodgers surprisingly took the series from the second-place team in the NL East. Kershaw fanned 10 and had his second career CG shutout; he also went 2-for-4 with two runs and an RBI (his fourth career RBI). Nolasco ceded a franchise-high 15 hits through five innings, and was left out to dry given the Marlins' use of five pitchers the night prior. Rafael Furcal had a two-run HR and went 3-for-5 with 3 RBI; Andre Ethier and Jay Gibbons also had three-hit games.
Matt Kemp and Don Mattingly were thrown out in the fourth inning after squandering a bases-loaded, one out situation, but hey, why focus on the bad? The Dodgers Won A Series! I'll take it!

Ok, mr la sc, you get one too
Can I get another Oban, please?
Virtually, yes
Four cups of sangria for the nightcap. Awesome day.
@Neeebs
I like how you used the word "cups." I like to imagine your sitting there in the corner of the kitchen, fresh off a rare Dodgers victory, with the lights dimmed, the little ones sent to bed, and you drinking cup after cup of sangria out of an old, cracked porcelain cup that has long since had a proper handle.
Think Donnie is contemplating running Kershaw out every game (either to pitch and/or hit).
@DB: I like it. But fiction works better here. In reality, the cup was some vacation souvenir.
Was it the cup from my annual ceramic elf collectors party? Sorry I had to go cheap and give out plastic cups instead of glass.
I do love me the Howard Dean scream.
Kershaw is as old right now as Lincecum was his rookie year.
@Sax
First the Dodgers win 2 of 3, then 3 of 4, then 4 of 5, 5 of 6, 6 of 7....yeeeeeea!
The Dean speech always makes me smile.
Ah, the vacation souvenir. I hope it was one from the Redneck Riviera in FL with comically exaggerated map placement of local attractions.
