Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw: Strrikes out 11 versus Diamondbacks
Kershaw (10-1) allowed two runs on five hits, struck out 11 and walked just one in a 3-2 victory over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.
Analysis:
That's 24 strikeouts over the last 15.1 innings. He struck out 14 versus San Diego on May 1, but the 24 punchouts in two combined starts is the most for Kershaw this season. In 11 of his last 13 starts, he has recorded at least 10 strikeouts, and his 11.08 K/9 rate is fifth best in the league. Kershaw will look to keep this momentum going in his next start Monday versus the Nationals.
