Kershaw (1-2) picked up the win Monday against Milwaukee, allowing one run on three hits and two walks across 5.2 innings. He struck out six.

Though Kershaw was pulled after 83 pitches and hasn't surpassed 85 pitches since being activated from the injured list July 25, he went deeper than five innings for the first time. The veteran left-hander's lone run allowed came after he was removed, when Joe Kelly surrendered a home run to William Contreras that plated inherited runner Jackson Chourio. Kershaw has struck out five or more hitters in three of four starts this season and has yielded one run in back-to-back appearances. He's tentatively scheduled to close out a two-start week Saturday at St. Louis.
