Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw stayed hot in Tuesday win, giving up six hits and one walk in eight scoreless innings while striking out eight in his team's 2-0 victory over the Royals.
It was no no-hitter, but Kershaw (8-2) delivered his second straight scoreless outing and his fourth start in a row with one or no runs. He owns a 2.24 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and remarkable 94:9 K:BB ratio in 72 1/3 innings. He'll look for a similar result Sunday against the Cardinals.
