Kershaw (7-1) threw a two-hit shutout with seven strikeouts and one walk in Monday's win over the Reds.
Although Kershaw's incredible streak of six double-digit-strikeout games in a row ended Monday night, it was still one of the most dominant starts of his season. No Reds runner made it to third base and Kershaw retired the last 17 hitters consecutively. He induced 13 swinging strikes and, most impressively, 16 groundball outs as the Reds had no answer for any of his pitches. The lefty now owns an absurd 95:5 K:BB as he makes his case for his fourth Cy Young Award.
