Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw was brilliant Wednesday against the Yankees, but was forced to settle for a no-decision in a 3-0 loss.
Kershaw allowed just five baserunners in the game, all on singles, over the course of eight shutout innings. Despite the strong outing, in which he struck out five and walked none, Kershaw had to take a no-decision. The Dodgers would go on to implode in the top of the ninth inning, as the bullpen let up three runs in the loss.
Kershaw lowered his National League-leading ERA to 1.87 with the outing, but his record still stands at 10-6 in 23 starts. He has thrown seven straight quality starts, and finished the month of July with a 4-1 record and 1.34 ERA in six starts.
