Kershaw has a scoreless inning streak of his own and Kershaw's streak reached 29 innings with a three hit shutout of the New York Mets. Kershaw struck out 11 and walked none. He had a perfect game through six innings and it was his third straight dominant start and his second straight shutout. He may not have the overall stats to win the Cy Young award again this year, but he is still the best pitcher in the game.
Jimmy Rollins homered off Bartolo Colon early in the game and the Dodgers manufactured two runs in the top of the ninth for the final score of 3-0. I was surprised to learn that Kershaw is not even in the top five pitchers for receiving the smallest amount of run support. It seems that Kershaw is usually pitching with a 1-0 lead or a 2-1 lead but that is apparently not the case. I wonder what pitcher's bullpen has blown the most saves in his starts?
