Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw blanks Giants over seven innings
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw tossed seven innings of three-hit, shutout ball in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the San Francisco Giants.
Kershaw didn't even allow a hit until outfielder Justin Ruggiano finally picked up a single with one out in the fourth inning. He did not walk a batter in the contest and struck out five in what was a crisp, effective outing against the rival Giants. The ace southpaw needed just 89 pitches to complete his seven innings of work.
For the season as a whole, Kershaw is pitching another masterpiece. He has a 2.15 ERA, 26.1 percent strikeout rate, and 3.4 percent walk rate across 62 2/3 innings pitched.
