The Washington Nationals may be allergic to their own home stadium in the postseason.

It seems that way after they dropped the opening game of their National League Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Nats were on the wrong end of a 4-3 decision, as they were unable to push across the tying run after closing a four-run deficit to one run in the fourth inning.

The Los Angeles Dodgers came away with a 4-3 win over the Washington Nationals in Game 1 of their National League Division Series matchup, and the two teams are back at it on Saturday.

Corey Seager and Justin Turner both homered for the Dodgers in Game 1, while closer Kenley Jansen struck out three in 1.2 scoreless innings to slam the door for the save.

Fact: David Price gave up 5 ER in 3.1 IP in the Red Sox's 6-0 loss to the Indians on Friday. He is now 0-8 in his career in postseason starts.

Los Angeles at Washington, Game 2 (Los Angeles leads series 1-0)

The Chicago Cubs have no shortage of burgeoning stars.

Toss a fungo bat during Chicago's pregame warm-ups, and you're likely to hit a young stud: Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Addison Russell—the list goes on.

The Los Angeles Dodgers didn't receive a sterling performance from starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw in Game 1 of the National League Division Series on Friday, but a couple of home runs and a strong bullpen effort allowed the NL West champions to sneak out a 4-3 win over the Washington Nationals on Friday night.  

When pitcher David Price was introduced as the Boston Red Sox's new $217 million toy last December, he said something the future would either vindicate or bring back to haunt him.       

The Toronto Blue Jays moved within one victory of reaching the American League Championship Series with a 5-3 victory over the Texas Rangers in Game 2 of the division series on Friday at Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas.

Troy Tulowitzki hit a two-run homer in the second inning, and the Jays never relinquished the lead, though there was plenty of drama over the final three innings. J.A. Happ, who went 20-4 in the regular season, picked up the win after giving up just one run over five innings of work.

FINAL SCORE: Los Angeles Dodgers 4 - 3 Washington Nationals

Although Clayton Kershaw didn't exude his usual excellence Friday, the Dodgers still seized Game 1 of the National League Division Series road matchup against the Nationals.

Kershaw carefully navigated his way through five innings. He allowed three runs, but the Dodgers tagged Nationals ace Max Scherzer for four behind early home runs from Corey Seager and Justin Turner.
