Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw continued his dominance Saturday, in a 5-0 win over the Phillies.
Kershaw was never in serious jeopardy of losing the game, as he limited the Phillies to just four baserunners in the game. He did not allow a runner to reach until the fifth inning, when Domonic Brown singled -- and was subsequently picked off.
Kershaw faced just three batters over the minimum, allowing three hits and one walk. He struck out eight over eight innings of work. He lowered his ERA to 1.80, while improving his record to 12-4 in a 5-0 win.
Kershaw leads the National League in innings (190 1/3), strikeouts (182), WHIP (0.85) to go with his league-best ERA, heading into his next start, scheduled for Thursday against the Marlins.
