Kershaw (6-2) allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over seven innings in Friday's 6-2 win over the Rockies.
The Dodgers staked him to a five-run lead in the second inning, and Kershaw cruised to an easy victory from there, needing only 85 pitches (58 strikes) to get through seven frames. With Brandon McCarthy (shoulder) and Rich Hill (finger) both set to rejoin the rotation early next week, Kershaw will get an extra day of rest before his next start Thursday at home against the Marlins.
