LOS ANGELES -- Needing a win to stave off elimination, the Los Angeles Dodgers are giving the ball to ace Clayton Kershaw on short rest Tuesday to face the Washington Nationals in Game 4 of their NL Division Series.The Dodgers lost 8-3 Monday and trail 2-1 in the best-of-five matchup.Kershaw won Game 1 last Friday, although the three-time NL Cy Young Award winner allowed three runs and eight hits while throwing 101 pitches over five innings.Still, rookie manager Dave Roberts was undeterred.One, Clayton gives us the best chance to win, and number two, he gives us the best chance to go deeper into a game, Roberts said before the game.Kershaw said once the series began that he wanted to pitch Game 4, according to Roberts.He wasnt as sharp as I had seen him, but hes still Clayton Kershaw, Nationals manager Dusty Baker said of Kershaws Game 1 performance. He kept them in the game, whether he was sharp or not. Hes one of the best around, if not the best.The left-hander has pitched on short rest in each of the previous three years. Kershaw is 1-1 with a 1.89 ERA in that span, striking out 23 and walking four.Clayton, he is an outlier in all of major league baseball, Roberts said. We feel very comfortable and confident with him going on short rest, and I think, so far as the arm usage, 100 percent. There was a lot of conversations with the docs and the trainers as far as the back, and also obviously talking to Clayton, most importantly, thats not an issue.Kershaw missed 2+ months with a mildly herniated disk in his back before returning in September.Rookie left-hander Julio Urias had been the projected starter for Game 4. Instead, he will be available out of the bullpen. The Dodgers used all seven of their relievers on the NLDS roster in Mondays loss, including closer Kenley Jansen, who gave up four runs in the ninth inning.If the Dodgers force a deciding Game 5 in Washington on Thursday, Urias or left-hander Rich Hill are possibilities to start.The Nationals will start right-hander Joe Ross in Game 4.

Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days. http://www.nikeroshesalecheap.com/ . -- Five former Kansas City Chiefs players who were on the team between 1987 and 1993 filed a lawsuit Tuesday claiming the team hid and even lied about the risks of head injuries during that time period when there was no collective bargaining agreement in place in the NFL.

Green wowed `em with incredible catches and showed the crowd in London what everyone back home knows -- hes nearly impossible to cover.Tyler Eifert was back in the flow, getting into the end zone when the Bengals needed it most.Even with all of that, the best they could do was tie.Cincinnatis first visit to London summed up its season on a football pitch. Whatever worked last season when the Bengals won the AFC North has somehow evaporated a year later.The Bengals won their first eight games last season. Since then, theyve gone 7-9-1, including a first-round playoff loss to Pittsburgh. Theyve slipped back into the huge pack of mid-level NFL teams.A 27-27 tie with Washington on Sunday left them 3-4-1, the first time theyve had a losing record at seasons midpoint since 2012. The tie against Washington especially stung, given how many chances they had to pull it out in both the fourth quarter and overtime.Opportunities, but just let it slip away, said quarterback Andy Dalton, who fumbled away a chance in overtime.Its been that way all season.The Bengals have been one of the healthiest teams in the league, which should be a big advantage for the defending division champs. Theyve shown flashes of their 2015 form, and then self-destructed with a bad play on offense or another defensive breakdown that prevented them from taking control of the game.Green and Dalton are having solid seasons again. Eifert, who set a club record for tight ends with 13 touchdown catches last season, is finally back from ankle surgery and putting his imprint on the offense. He had nine catches for 102 yards and a touchdown in his first significant playing time. Green had nine catches for 121 yards.But the offense couldnt take advantage of its opportunities in overtime, fritteering away the last one when Dalton fumbled on a keeper.dddddddddddd He also had a costly interception, something rare for him this season.Thats not the worst of it, though. The defense remains subpar even though linebacker Vontaze Burfict is back in form after serving a three-game suspension from the NFL for illegal hits. Kirk Cousins threw for a season-high 458 yards at Wembley Stadium, and Washington piled up 546 yards in all.It was the third time in the past four games that the defense allowed more than 400 yards. The only team that didnt hit the mark was Cleveland, which lost another quarterback and ran for 180 yards in Cincinnatis only win during that stretch.The defense that gave up the second-fewest points in the league last season and finished 11th in yards allowed. It has slipped to 24th overall in yards allowed. If they stay on course, it would be their worst showing defensively since 2007, the year before Mike Zimmer was hired as the coordinator.Game notes The Bengals had the day off after returning from London. Theyll meet on Tuesday and then go into their bye week. ... Eifert was on the field for 74 of the 88 plays, a significant upgrade. He returned against Cleveland and was in for only 15 plays. ... LT Andrew Whitworth sustained a concussion in the game against Cleveland, was cleared from the protocol on Thursday, and was on the field for all 88 plays on Sunday. ... The Bengals stayed with their plan of alternating at right tackle, which has been a problem spot. Cedric Ogbuehi was in for two out of three series, with Eric Winston playing the third series.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Authentic Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys 2018 NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys 2018 Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
