Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw was his typically dominant self in his return to the rotation Tuesday, tossing seven scoreless innings while giving up nine hits, striking out nine and walking none in his team's 8-3 win over the Nationals.
Kershaw (2-0) was making just his second start of the season after recovering from a back injury. He owns a 0.66 ERA and 16:1 K:BB ratio in 13 2/3 innings. Kershaw is lined up to take on the Giants at home Sunday.
