Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw was saddled with a loss after giving up three earned runs on seven hits and one walk in seven innings while striking out nine in his team's 3-2 loss to the Reds Wednesday.
Kershaw (3-2) has struck out exactly nine batters in four of his six starts, including each of his last two. However, he surrendered a two-run home run in the first inning and gave up another on a wild pitch in the sixth. Kershaw owns a 3.57 ERA and 46:7 K:BB ratio in 35 1/3 innings. He'll face off with the White Sox Monday.
