The havily favored Dodgers held the punchless Braves to seven runs in the four-game sweep.

The first game, in Dodger Stadium, was quite the pitchers duel. Jesse Barnes allowed two unearned runs in seven innings, set up by Johnny Cooney's two-base error in right field; Barnes walked none and struck out five. Clayton Kershaw allowed one run in 7.6 innings; Pedro Baez got the last out of the eighth and Kenley Jansen fanned the side in the ninth.

Game Two was a rout, with Los Angeles scoring at least two runs in five innings. Casey Stengel's two-run homer in the third gave the Braves a short-lived lead, but the Dodgers hit six doubles, a pair of triples and one homer (Joc Pederson). The Dodgers hit for the cycle in the eighth inning against reliever Tim McNamera.

The series moved to Boston and Braves Field for another pitchers duel. Two-way player Johnny Cooney went the distance for the Braves for the loss and drove in both Boston runs at the plate. The Los Angeles bullpen worked four innings, allowing one run.

Rube Marquard took the hill for Boston in Game Four but didn't live up to his Hall of Fame credentials. The Dodgers drove him from the hill in the third inning. Chris Taylor hit a solo homer and Yasiel Puig a two-run triple in that inning.

Player of the Series: Yasiel Puig

Player availablity: All pitchers will be fully rested for the first game of the second round.

Projected rotation: We'll substitute heavily behind Kershaw as the tournament progesses. Kershaw-Rich Hill-Maeda-Darvish-(Kershaw)-(Hill)-(Maeda)
