Kershaw (3-1) earned the win Tuesday, allowing three hits over seven scoreless innings against the Mets. He struck out nine without walking a batter.
The future Hall of Famer had a vintage performance, getting out of jams to start and finish his outing. The southpaw also passed Mickey Lolich for 22nd all time in strikeouts with 2,833. The 35-year-old has impressive career accomplishments and is still performing at a high level. His 0.92 WHIP is 11th in the league through Tuesday's games, and he's giving up just one free pass per start. He tentatively lines up to face the Cubs in his next outing.
