May 13, 2013: Dodgers 9 Nationals 4

That August 2012 mega-trade between the Red Sox and Dodgers had a negative impact on today's outcome for the Nationals. Former Red Sox Carl Crawford was 2 for 4 with 2 runs scored, Adrian Gonzalez was 3 for 5 with two doubles, a homer and 5 RBI, and Nick Punto went 4 for 4! Josh Beckett only lasted 5 innings but was enough for the win.

The Dodgers did most of their damage in the 3rd, scoring 6 runs off 2012 NL Cy Young Award winner Jordan Zimmermann. Skip Schumaker was responsible for half of the runs with a 3-run blast.
