Instant Analysis: Giants shut down by Kershaw, drop finale to Dodgers
LOS ANGELES — With two outs in the eighth inning on Sunday afternoon, Gorkys Hernandez took a swing and accidentally flung his bat right back to the mound. The fans booed as Clayton Kershaw, who had jumped out of the way, retrieved it. Look, nothing else has worked against this guy. This method didn’t, either. Hernandez struck out, giving Kershaw 200 on the year. He was his usual self, scattering eight Giants hits in eight innings and allowing just one run on a Mac Williamson dinger.

There was a slight chance last week that Washington could pass the Los Angeles Dodgers with them losing
