MIAMI -- Ordinarily, Jose Fernandez against Clayton Kershaw would figure to be quite a pitchers duel.Fernandez lived up to his end of the bargain.The Miami ace tied a career high with 14 strikeouts, overshadowing Kershaws return from injury and leading the Marlins to a 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night.Fernandez (14-8) gave up three hits and three walks in seven shutout innings. It was the fifth time hes struck out 14 in a game, and third this season.It seems like thats all I do lately. I cant pass 14, Fernandez said.Thats more than enough for the Marlins.Fernandez was simply dominant, improving to 4-0 all-time against the Dodgers and 28-2 at Marlins Park. There have been 12 games in the majors this season when a pitcher has struck out 14 or more, and no one else has more than one.His 102nd and last pitch -- which fanned Yasiel Puig -- hit 98 mph.He used his changeup more tonight and pitched inside more, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. He was good.Fernandez is up to 238 strikeouts this year, 29 more than any Marlins pitcher has ever compiled in a season.J.T. Realmuto homered and Christian Yelich had two hits for Miami, which improved to 5-0 against the NL West leaders this season. Yasmani Grandal hit his 25th homer in the ninth for the Dodgers, who tried to rally against Fernando Rodney before A.J. Ramos came in and closed it out for his career-best 33rd save -- his first in more than a month.Kershaw (11-3) had not started for the Dodgers since June 26 because of a mild disk herniation in his back. He threw 66 pitches, 46 for strikes, while allowing two runs and five hits over three innings.The three-time Cy Young Award winner and 2014 NL MVP struck out five, did not walk a batter and now has 150 strikeouts against nine free passes in 2016.Its not spring training for anybody else so its not for me, either, Kershaw said. Weve got to beat the Giants. Weve got to win this division. Im thankful for what the guys did while I was gone. They played unbelievable. Theyre still playing unbelievable. I want to be a part of that. I want to help that. Tonight I didnt really help. So I need to do that, pretty soon.Kershaw wasnt thrilled with his outing, but Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was.For Clayton to be back on the mound, I think thats a win for us, Roberts said. Fernandez was good, but the No. 1 thing was Clayton got out of this feeling pretty well. We didnt expect him to be in midseason form anyway.THE DONMattingly is the third skipper in the last half-century to start 5-0 against the Dodgers -- the team he managed from 2011-15. He joined Jack McKeon (with the Padres in 1988) and Sparky Anderson (with the Reds in 1970).CELEBRATING PERFECTIONIt was the 51st anniversary of the only Dodgers perfect game, Sandy Koufaxs 1-0 gem against the Chicago Cubs.

TORONTO -- Auston Matthews checked his phone before his NHL debut and came across text messages from former teammates. It wasnt exactly encouragement. The Toronto newcomer was in their fantasy hockey lineups.Hopefully, I did all right, the 19-year-old said a day later.Fantasy hockey owners would indeed be proud. Matthews became the first player in modern NHL history to score four goals in his debut, a 5-4 overtime loss at Ottawa on Wednesday night. He scored his fourth goal with three seconds to go in the second period.Hes going to have great nights down the road, Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly said Thursday. But this one will be one that hell remember for a long time.It took less than 10 minutes for Matthews, the first player picked No. 1 overall by the Leafs in 31 years, to find the back of the net.The play started with two nifty dekes by 20-year-old William Nylander just inside the Ottawa zone. He danced around Senators defenseman Mark Borowiecki and then flung a pass into the middle for Matthews, his shot attempt squirting just wide of the goal. It was eventually claimed behind the net by Zach Hyman, the third member of Torontos all-rookie line.I tried to just pick it up and I saw Auston, and I just threw it back in front and he was there, Hyman recounted.Matthews quickly fired a shot past Ottawa goaltender?Craig Anderson?steps outside the crease, Senators defender Chris Wideman just a second late in tying him up.After Ottawa scored twice in less than two minutes, Matthews struck again on the most eye-catching goal of the evening.Hyman, 24, took the action in from steps away like an astounded fan.Theres so many little things on that play that I think most guys cant do, and he did it all in one play, Hyman said. The puck was in the net pretty quick.Matthews gained control of the puck in the neutral zone, slipping it through the legs of a helpless Mike Hoffman. He whirled into the offensive zone and lost control of the puck briefly, Senators captain Erik Karlsson temporarily taking hold of it along the boards. Undeterred, Matthews dodged a check from Hoffman and before Karlsson, a former Norris Trophy winner, had a chance to make a play, lifted his stick, swiped the puck back and attacked the crease.Perhaps missed on first glance was the slight whack MMatthews gave Karlsson on the left leg, an attempt to make the defenseman think he was coming from the left instead of the right.ddddddddddddHe then got a quick shot under Andersons glove seconds before Marc Methot could drop to the ice and break up the play.Just a couple puck battles, Matthews said. I think I was able to sneak by my check there and catch Karlsson off-guard and [then] was able to just pick the puck, go in and slide it 5-hole there.Watching it unfold, Hyman thought: Hes a good player.Matthews completed his hat trick 1:25 into the second period on his third shot of the game.Rielly instigated the action, veering into the offensive zone with speed before he was steered into the left corner by Ottawas defense. He nonetheless managed to thread a pass through a sea of skates to Matthews, wide open in the right faceoff circle.Rielly said he knew Matthews was there the whole time and was only able to get the pass through all that interference because of his teammates positioning.He changed his speed, and he went into a good spot where I was able to get it to him, Rielly said. If he had just driven the net like most guys do, I dont think it wouldve worked. But he stopped up and he made his blade available, and thats what happened.Matthews fourth and fifth shot attempts were denied, but a fourth goal arrived in the waning moments of the second period.With 9.7 seconds left and the score tied 3-3, Jake Gardiner lofted an outlet from the Toronto zone past a leaping?Derick Brassard. Matthews snatched it up near center ice, found Nylander and then took off to the front of the net. Nylander slid a pass just under the stick of Wideman, the only defenseman back for Ottawa.I just put it there, and then he put it in, Nylander said.It was the finishing touch on history.Matthews said he would give the four pucks from his debut to his mother, Ema.I think just playing in your first NHL game, you know its going to be a special night, said Matthews, already looking ahead to Torontos home opener against Boston on Saturday night. Just going out there and getting your first taste of the NHL and living your dream right there, its pretty special. ' ' '
