LOS ANGELES DODGERS

The Nationals and Dodgers opened the first-ever playoff series between the two clubs on
Friday, Oct. 7 at Nationals Park...The Dodgers and Montreal Expos met once in the Postseason, in the 1981 National League Championship Series -- which LAD won, 3-2, with help
from several familiar faces...The ties between the Nationals and Dodgers run deep, starting
with Nationals manager Dusty Baker, who played for LA for eight seasons (1976-1983)...
Baker was a two-time All-Star, two-time Silver Slugger, and a Gold Glove outfielder for the
Dodgers, hitting .281 in 1,117 games with 144 home runs, 179 doubles, and 586 RBI, and an
integral part of the aforementioned 1981 World Series Championship team...Joining him on
that team was Nationals first base coach Davey Lopes, who played for LAD from 1972-1981,
was a four-time All-Star and a Gold Glover, and his 418 stolen bases rank second all-time
in Dodgers history...Hall-of-Fame voice of the Dodgers, Vin Scully, began his broadcasting
career at WTOP radio in D.C....Dodgers President and CEO Stan Kasten served as the Nationals President for five seasons, from 2006-10...Nationals OF Jayson Werth hit .247 with
23 homers and 90 RBI in 191 games with the Dodgers from 2004-05...Nationals 1B/OF Clint
Robinson appeared in nine games for LAD in 2014, going 3-for-9 (.333) with one walk and
two RBI...OF Chris Heisey appeared in 33 games for the Dodgers in 2015, going 10-for-55
(.182) with two doubles, two HR and nine RBI.

LOBY LONGBALL
With the Nationals' trailing, 2-0, in the fourth inning on Sunday, C Jose Lobaton crushed
a three-run home run to left field to put Washington up, 3-2 -- a lead from which they never
looked back...It was the second career Postseason home run for Lobaton, who hit a walk-off
homer for the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 3 of the 2013 ALDS against Boston and has now left
the yard with two of his three career Postseason knocks.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Lobaton is just the second catcher in MLB PostseaTHE REGULAR-SEASON SERIES
son history to hit a lead-assuming home run with his team trailing by at least two runs...
The Dodgers hold the edge in the all-time series since baseball returned to the District in 2005,
He joins Jim Hegan, who hit a three-run homer in Game 5 of the 1948 World Series for
44-27...The Nationals took the 2014 season series from LA, 4-2, but fell in the 2015 version,
Cleveland, turning a 4-2 deficit into a 5-4 lead...Cleveland won the title in six games.
2-4, and in the 2016 series, 1-5.
