Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw tossed his second complete game of the season Tuesday in an 8-0 win over the Rockies.
Kershaw allowed just four hits, all singles, despite pitching in the hitter's haven that is Coors Field. He tossed his first shutout, as the Rockies managed just those four singles and no walks. He struck out eight and did not allow a runner to reach second base in the outing.
Kershaw lowered his ERA back under 2.00, putting him in first place in the National League at 1.93. He also is second in the league in WHIP (0.93) and strikeouts (126), while throwing a league-high 130 1/3 innings.
He is 7-5 heading into his next outing, scheduled for Sunday against the Giants.
