LAst Night's Action: Kings Take 1-0 Series Lead In St. Louis
This is what the Kings and Kings' fans hope to see a lot at the STAPLES Center this season. (LAist/Jimmy Bramlett)
LA Kings defeat St. Louis Blues 3-1. Matt Greene scored his first playoff goal which just happened to be a shortie. Dustin Penner added an empty netter to ice the game. The Kings win a postseason game against the Blues for the first time in their ninth try.
LA Dodgers defeat Washington Nationals 4-3 (10). Matt Kemp ended the game by himself with a walkoff homer spoiling the Major League debut of Bryce Harper and the Dodger Stadium debut of Stephen Strasburg.
LA Angels defeat Cleveland Indians 2-1. The Angels are 1-0 in the Mike Trout era. Okay, he went 0-fer, but the Angels still won. Dan Haren went eight innings giving up the sole run while Scott Downs closed out the game for a jubilant (and rare) Angels' win.
Colorado Rapids defeat Chivas USA 4-0.
LA Galaxy tie FC Dallas 1-1.
