The Washington Nationals own the best road record in the major leagues at 23-16, but they tumbled into a three-game tailspin in the midst of their West Coast visit.

After Kenley Jansen became the Los Angeles Dodgers' franchise leader with the 162nd save of his career, he made sure to compliment the pitcher whose dominance constantly puts him in position to slam the door. Jansen thinks he wouldn't be the pitcher he is without Clayton Kershaw, and the Dodgers' ace feels the same about Jansen. Kershaw yielded six hits over seven dominant innings to earn his ninth victory in 10 starts, and the Dodgers beat the Washington Nationals 4-1 Monday night for their fourth straight victory.

Your chances of catching a home run ball are pretty small in your every day life. And even though your chances of catching one are greater when you're actually at a baseball game, not everyone comes prepared. Some fans bring gloves, but others are forced to catch homers with cups or cartons of nachos. One fan had none of those things during Sunday's game between the Washington Nationals and the San Diego Padres, but when a home run ball came his way he found an elegant solution. Nationals center fielder Michael Taylor was leading off the game on Sunday, and facing Padres starter Drew Pomeranz. Pomeranz threw only one pitch to Taylor, who reared back, swung the bat, and sent the ball over the wall in left field and into the stands for a lead-off home run. Four rows back was a fan without a glove or even a plastic cup, and the ball was headed straight for him. So he did the only thing he could. He reached down and pulled up his open backpack. As he lifted the backpack off the ground, the ball missed the hand of a fan seated a few rows in front of him, and it landed neatly in the unzipped pouch. [ Join a Yahoo Daily Fantasy Baseball contest now ] Considering how easy it is to drop a home run ball, maybe this is how fans should consider catching them from now on. After it lands, all you have to do is zip up your bag and you're ready to go. It's so easy! Everyone should remember this moment, because it could be the first step in the evolution of fan catches.
