Clayton Kershaw shuts down Padres over six innings
by Jon Mathisen | Dodgers Correspondent | Sun, Apr 18th 2:18am EDT
LHP Clayton Kershaw picked up his third win of the season when he allowed just two hits with eight strikeouts and two walks over six innings in the Dodgers 2-0 win over the Padres on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact:
Kershaw was locked in on Saturday, limiting the powerful San Diego offense to just two hits and a pair of walks over his six innings of work. He even helped his own cause by drawing a bases-loaded walk against Yu Darvish in the top of the fifth inning to score the game's first run. After a disastrous first outing in Colorado to start the year, Kershaw has allowed just one earned run over his last 19 innings. He now owns a 2.19 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and 24:3 K/BB ratio over 24 2/3 innings (four starts). He draws the Padres again, at home, in his next turn.
