Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw: Collects ninth win Tuesday

Kershaw (9-2) allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over seven innings in Tuesday's 7-5 win over Cleveland.

He very nearly had to settle for a no-decision, but Cody Bellinger's eighth-inning homer off Andrew Miller put the Dodgers in the lead for good while Kershaw was still the pitcher of record. The dominant lefty will take a 2.23 ERA and 0.92 WHIP into his next start Sunday on the road against the Reds.
