After Matt Carpenter hit a two-run homer off J.P. Howell in the eighth to move the Cardinals into a 2-2 tie with the Dodgers, Los Angeles fans were nervous, especially after what happened on Friday with Clayton Kershaw. But fear not, Dodgers fans – Matt Kemp was on the scene to drag your club to a victory.
Pat Neshek allowed just two homers to right-handed hitters during the entire 2014 season. 19 of Matt Kemp’s 25 homers came against right-handers. Something had to give, and it did in a big way. We’ve got a series now between these two teams.
