Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (10-7) tossed a quality start but was hit with the loss Tuesday night against the Cardinals. The left-hander yielded two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings pitched in a 5-1 defeat.

Kershaw has allowed two earned runs or fewer in each of his last four starts. He is scheduled to make his next start Sunday at home against the Rays. He is 6-4 with a stellar 1.59 ERA in 13 starts at Dodger Stadium this season.
