Dodgers take final game from Mets and first from Nats

Despite losing the 2 of the 3 games in New York, the Dodgers looked forward to taking some momentum with them when they face the Nationals at Dodger Stadium.

Wells went 5 innings in the final game and was charged with two runs. This was despite the fact of not working out for several weeks. Known as a big game pitcher, there will be plenty of big games for Wells to pitch in, the Dodgers look forward to more solid starts from him.

The momentum did carry over on Monday. The offense looked like a typical Dodger offense that night, racking up the base hits and driving in some runs. Juan Pierre also made it on the base and like he normally does swipes a base. The Dodgers downed the Nationals 5-4.

Lowe (11-11) went six innings, allowing four runs on seven hits while striking out five. However, he did allow three homers in the game. This was the first time Lowe has given up 3 since Aug. 16, 2005. Despite the struggle, the Dodgers managed to give him a win.
