WASHINGTON -- Putting guys on base was easy for the Los Angeles Dodgers, especially early in the game. Getting them home, that was the problem.So after leaving `em loaded three times and missing a chance to take a commanding lead over Washington in the NL Division Series, the Dodgers headed home tied at 1-all after a 5-2 loss Sunday.Overall, LA went 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position -- 0 for 5 with the bases loaded -- and stranded 12. That gave the Dodgers an empty feeling going back to Chavez Ravine for Game 3 on Monday afternoon.Whether its a combination of their guys making good pitches or us just not getting the job done, that changes the whole game, said right fielder Josh Reddick, whose RBI single was that one hit with runners in scoring position. For the guys, Im sure theyre beating themselves up.Washington starter Tanner Roark looked very beatable, as LA got seven hits off him, including rookie shortstop Corey Seagers first-inning home run that was his second in as many games.The Dodgers left the bases loaded in the second inning and again in the third. The frustrating trend was made worse when backup Nationals catcher Jose Lobaton hit a three-run homer off Rich Hill in the fourth for a 3-2 lead.Hill tried to say the loss falls solely on him, but there was no one in the visiting clubhouse who agreed with that sentiment.Hill did have a chance at the plate. He struck out with three runners on in the second and then Chase Utley grounded out.Yasmani Grandal grounded into an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded in the third. In the fifth, again with the bases loaded, Grandal struck out and pinch hitter Howie Kendrick lined out to left.Manager Dave Roberts said his team stressed Roark, who lasted only 4 1/3 innings, but the Dodgers then didnt get a hit off the Nationals bullpen until there was one out in the ninth.We had the bases loaded, so we had some opportunities, just didnt capitalize, Roberts said.Added Seager: You did what you were looking for in getting the starter out early. Unfortunately we missed that big hit against the bullpen.Stranding 11 runners against Roark had the Dodgers wondering what could have been. But splitting the first two games of a series on the road gave them something of a silver lining, especially after the rain-postponed Game 2 made the wait for Game 3 at Dodger Stadium even shorter.If youve got to win two out of three, you want to have most of those games at home, and we do, first baseman Adrian Gonzalez said.HILL HANGS CURVEHill hung his head after the loss, regretting a hanging curveball he left up to Lobaton on the homer and two inside pitches that hit Nationals shortstop Danny Espinosa. The 36-year-old lefty had seven strikeouts but came out after 4 1/3 innings and was hard on himself for not executing pitches how he wanted.I believe were tied in the series now because I didnt execute, Hill said. For me its extremely disappointing.SEAGER MAKES HISTORYWith his second home run of the series, Seager tied Jim Gilliam for the most home runs in a postseason for a Dodgers rookie and joined Pee Wee Reese as the only Dodgers shortstops with multiple postseason home runs. On Friday, he went deep off Washington ace Max Scherzer.Asked to explain his success early in games, Seager said: I dont know. Luck, whatever it is.MURPHY MAKES DIFFERENCENationals 2B Daniel Murphy went 3 for 3 with 2 RBI, a walk and a run scored, drawing M-V-P chants from the sellout crowd of 43,826. Murphy tormented LA for the second straight October after helping the New York Mets advance past the Dodgers a year ago.Ever since last year he just seems to be the guy that comes up in the clutch, Reddick said. It shows what he can do this year, and playoff-wise its something special.UP NEXTIn Game 3, the Dodgers will have RHP Kenta Maeda (16-11, 3.48 ERA) on the mound against Nationals LHP Gio Gonzalez (11-11, 4.57. The Nationals are hoping Gonzalez can take advantage of the Dodgers worst-in-the-majors batting average against left-handed pitchers. Maeda led LA pitchers in wins, innings (175 2/3), strikeouts (179) and starts (32).---AP Sports Writer Howard Fendrich contributed to this report.Sami Vatanen Devils Jersey .

You coach junior hockey in Canada for 15 years, you see your share of power outages.Martin Jones stopped 24 shots to help the Sharks improve to 3-0 at home.Scott Hartnell scored for the Blue Jackets, who lost for the second straight game. Sergei Bobrovsky finished with 26 saves.Hartnell spoiled Jones shutout bid with 2:50 remaining as the puck skipped off Jones skate and onto Hartnells stick and he put it in to make it 2-1.I though we played well. We just have not been consistent enough offensively, Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella said. We dont have enough offensive guys going right now.Hertl added an empty net goal in the final second.Donskoi scored his first goal of the season, on a power play with 7:01 left in the first period after taking a pass from David Schlemko and knocking it in off the bottom of Bobrovskys glove and having it bounce into the net.My last year in Finland, the ice broke a couple of times, Donskoi said of the power outage. That was even worse. There was maybe a 1 1/2, two-hour delay in the game, and we just kept going after that. I dont think this wwas too bad.ddddddddddddAfter a goal by Brenden Dillon was disallowed due to offsides following a lengthy review early in the third period, the Sharks scored another power-play goal with Hertl converting on a rebound to make it 2-0.A lot bad bounces and they just capitalized, Columbus Josh Anderson said. It was just unfortunate they had one on the power play too. I thought we came out the way we wanted but we got away from our game a little bit there.The lights over the ice went out with 2:42 left in the second period, forcing an early intermission. The time was added to the beginning of the third period, with the teams switching sides after 2:42.It was definitely a long game, the Sharks Joel Ward said. I dont know what time it is right now but with that and the disallowed goal it felt like a triple overtime type of game. Havent seen that before, but hopefully since we won maybe it happens again and we can capitalize.Game notesSchlemko recorded his first point with the Sharks. ... Bobrovsky is one of two goalies to have played all of their teams minutes this season. ... Sharks F Patrick Marleau appeared in his 550th consecutive game. ... The Sharks are 4 for 10 in power plays at home. ...
