Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw earned another win Tuesday, allowing one earned run on three hits and two walks in eight innings while striking out eight in his team's 4-1 victory over the Nationals.
Kershaw (17-3) has pitched at least eight innings in each of his last five starts, and he's held the opposition to three runs or less in 22 of his 23 starts this season. Kershaw owns a 1.70 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 202:25 K:BB ratio in 169 1/3 innings. He's now on pace to finish the season ahead of Sandy Koufax's 1.73 ERA from 1966. Kershaw's scheduled to face the Padres Tuesday.
