Kemp, Dodgers drub Nats, get taste of first place

Matt Kemp came off the DL to go 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs, Carl Crawford broke out of a slump with three hits, Hanley Ramirez slammed a three-run homer and Clayton Kershaw dominated for seven innings in a 9-2 victory. That gave the Dodgers a three-game sweep coming out the All-Star break and pulled them into a tie with the D-backs atop the NL West, although Arizona later beat San Francisco to move back ahead by a half-game.
