Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw turned in a stellar performance but was not backed up by the necessary run support in Friday's series opener against the Giants.

Kershaw, who made his seventh start of the season, had a no-hit bid broken with one out in the sixth inning by Marco Scutaro's triple. Buster Posey doubled Scutaro home to tie the game. The left-hander was charged with one run and three hits in seven innings of work in a 2-1 defeat. He struck out five and walked three in 104 pitches, 62 strikes.

Kershaw has allowed one run and seven hits in his last 15 innings of work. He has struck out 17 and walked three over that span. The 25-year-old will try to pick up his fourth win of the season Wednesday at home against the Diamondbacks. He allowed three runs in 7 1/3 innings in his last outing against Arizona on April 12.
