Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw: Outduels Strasburg in win

Kershaw (8-2) pitched seven innings, allowing one run on three hits and three walks with nine strikeouts in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Nationals.

Just another typical performance by the amazing Kershaw, holding the potent Nationals lineup to just one run over seven innings. It's the eighth time in 13 starts this year that he's allowed one run or fewer. Kershaw now ranks first in the National League in wins (eight), innings (90) and ERA (2.20), and second in strikeouts (101) and WHIP (0.90). Kershaw has another premier pitching matchup in his next start, as he is scheduled to face Corey Kluber and the Indians on Wednesday.
