Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw struck out nine in seven quality innings, but was unable to factor into the decision Sunday afternoon against the Dodgers in Los Angeles. The right-hander permitted three runs on seven hits and no walks in a 7-4 win in extras.
Since returning from the disabled list, Kershaw has allowed only three earned runs in 14 innings pitched. He will look to stay efficient in his next start on Saturday against the Diamondbacks. He allowed one run in 6 1/3 innings on opening day against Arizona in Australia on March 22.
