22 Clayton Kershaw, SP

Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw is not happy his contract talks have been leaked to the public, according to the Los Angeles Times. 

Kershaw said now that the talks have become public, they could be a distraction. "I think the reason we’ve been able to continue discussions for this long is that it’s not been talked about," Kershaw said. "We kind of had an agreement that we weren’t going to talk about it. It didn't come from our side." Kershaw declined to comment on the initial article detailing his contract talks. 

On the season, Kershaw has a 1.84 ERA and a 2.59 FIP in 107 1/3 innings. 

The Dodgers have made progress on a potential seven-year extension for starter Clayton Kershaw worth more than $180 million, according to FOX Sports Saturday. The 25-year-old is looking for a richer deal than Felix Hernandez and Justin Verlander because of his age.

Kershaw is 5-4 with 1.84 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP. He has a 104-to-31 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 107 1/3 innings this season. The 2011 National League Cy Young winner is 66-41 with a 2.71 career ERA.

Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw turned in a dominant outing but failed to factor in the decision Saturday afternoon against the Pirates.

Kershaw allowed a run on a fielder's choice in the first inning. The left-hander yielded the run, three hits and three walks while striking out eight in seven innings of a 5-3 win in extras.

Kershaw has allowed two earned runs or fewer in each of his last three starts. He is scheduled to make his next start Friday at San Diego. He is 0-2 with a 3.97 ERA in two starts against the Padres.

Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw continues to get little help from his teammates as he took a no-decision despite throwing seven solid innings Monday against the Diamondbacks.

Kershaw limited Arizona to one run on six hits and two walks in six innings. He left with a 3-1 lead, but closer Brandon League allowed four runs in the ninth inning of an eventual 5-4 loss.

Kershaw struck out five and lowered his National League-leading ERA to 1.88. He has failed to throw a quality start three times in 14 starts but is 5-4. He has not won in his last four starts despite a 3.33 ERA thanks to little run support. 

Kershaw will try to end his winless streak Sunday in Pittsburgh. 

Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw cannot get any run support from his teammates as he lost another quality start Wednesday.

Kershaw held the Padres to two earned runs in six innings of a 6-2 loss. He allowed seven hits and three walks, while striking out nine. He threw 79 of 120 pitches for strikes.

Kershaw (5-4) leads the National League in innings pitched (93 1/3) and is second in ERA (1.93) and fifth in WHIP (0.96). His next start is Monday against the Diamondbacks.
