Clayton Kershaw sends Dodgers to first WS in 30 years

Clayton Kershaw earned the win in Game 5 of the NLCS on Thursday, throwing six innings of one-run ball while allowing three hits, one walk, and striking out five.

Fantasy Impact:

Kershaw finishes the series with a 2.45 ERA in two starts. He was pulled after just 89 pitches tonight, mostly because Los Angeles had such a big lead. They would go on to win 11-1. Manager Dave Roberts has the option to bring Kershaw back on regular rest for Game 1 of the Fall Classic if he wants. The World Series appearance will be the Dodgers' first since 1988, the year Kershaw was born.
