Washington Nationals news & notes: Jake Irvin & Nats shut out Dodgers, 2-0, take 2 of 3 in LA...

CJ Abrams took a four-game hit streak into the series finale in LA, with five of six hits over the four games extra bases hits, (three doubles, a triple, and a HR). Abrams, 23, extended the streak early in the third of three in Dodger Stadium on Wednesday, taking the debuting Dodgers’ starter Landon Knack’s second pitch, a 1-0 fastball pretty much down the middle to right-center field (392 ft. from home) for a leadoff home run, and a 1-0 lead early in the rubber match of the series. It was the 5th home run of the year for Abrams, who didn’t hit his 5th last season until May 23rd.
