Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw was his usually dominant self on Friday against the Padres, but he was forced to settle for a no-decision in the 4-3 victory. Kershaw went 6 2/3 innings, allowing just one run on four hits. He walked three and struck out 11, lowering his ERA to 3.21.
The only run Kershaw gave up came in his final inning, a solo home run by Clint Barmes to cut the Dodgers' lead to 2-1. Unfortunately for Kershaw, the Dodgers bullpen gave the lead up, but the Dodgers were able to get it back and record the 4-3 win.
The reigning MVP and Cy Young Award winner has now given up just three earned runs over his last four starts following Friday's performance. He'll look to get back in the win column in his next start, scheduled for Wednesday at home against the Rangers.
