Kershaw

That is all my headline needs to say. Clayton Kershaw ran his scoreless string to 28 innings by shutting out the St. Louis Cardinals last night for 7 innings, striking out 13, and walking 2. He improved his record to 9-2. The Dodgers scored 6 runs in support of Kershaw this time around, the big blow being a two out, three-run homer by Andre Ethier (his 4th) off Shelby Miller in the 5th inning. More important than Kershaw's dominance, is the fact that the victory allowed the Dodgers to catch the San Francisco Giants for the lead in the National League West. The Dodgers have made up 9 1/2 games in three weeks and this was about the time the Dodgers started their incredible run last year.
