Kershaw Dominates

You cannot get much more dominating than Clayton Kershaw was in the no-hitter he pitched against the Colorado Rockies last night. The only blemish was a throwing error by Shortstop Hanley Ramirez. Kershaw struck out 15, only threw 107 pitches of which 79 were strikes. That is the second Dodgers no-hitter of the season. Rookie Miguel Rojas carried the big bat with a bases loaded double that drove in three and recent call up Carlos Triunfel hit his first homerun of the season. Kershaw improved his record to 7-2 and his ERA to 2.52. If he had any kind of run support at all Kershaw would probably be about 10 or 11 and 1 at this point and on his way to his third Cy Young. Lost in the shuffle of the no-hitter is the fact that the Dodgers swept Rockies and moved to within 5 1/2 games of the San Francisco Giants.
