Braves at Dodgers, 7:10PM PT, TV: SPNLA
Mr. Kershaw brings his 12-2, 1.76 ERA record to the hill tonight to face right-hander Julio Teheran and his 10-6, 2.71 ERA record. He missed his spots the other night on Jimmy Kimmel Live, but I imagine he’ll do a little better tonight.
Here’s the lineup:
Tonight's #Dodgers lineup
Gordon 2B
Puig CF
Gonzalez 1B
Ramirez SS
Crawford LF
Kemp RF
Uribe 3B
Ellis C

Kershaw lowered his league-leading ERA from 1.76 to 1.71 tonight, raised his league-leading winning percentage from .857 to .867, and increased his league-leading complete-game total from four to five. His next scheduled start is Tuesday at home vs. the Angels.
Anyone know what Zack’s pitch count was last night?
I bet he argues HARD to stay in next time.
110
OK — he would’ve lost that argument.
9-hit scattered.
Shoulda been eight-hitter shutout. Actually mighta been fewer hits – several balls fell in front of Puig, who may have been playing too deep. Unfamiliarity with position.
Whew!
Six straight!
Not a shutout, but still a W!
Darn!
Glad to hear Kersh was keeping warm . . . I wondered why League didn’t do that when I was there several weeks ago.
Tough to overturn.
Painful wait.
C’mon, overturn!
Kid K!
One more . . .
Get the K or double play!
C’mon, Kersh — close it out.
As shakey as Dee looked at SS, he seems so solid at second base in such a short time.
With our bats showing a bit more signs of life and if both Haren and Beckett can rediscover some of their early season form, I think we are going to be OK
Do you have MLBTV yet, John?
No, I’m a bit worried I would watch/follow it even more than I do now 🙂
Given the time difference, I wouldn’t think that would be an issue.
It’s more balancing around home and family time and work etc ( I know I couldn’t resist)
Tough to expect Beckett and Haren return to early season form. Seems likely that we will still need to go at least for a 4 or 5 in the market. More may become available as playoff hopes diminish for more teams. .
Upton more used to swinging wildly for his Ks.
Just saw vision of the great play by Gordon in the 4th (that was amazing!)
I’m at the game, and I couldn’t believe my eyes!
Nice way to erase a threat by getting a DP at 3rd and 2nd
Just tuned in to the game. 1) It’s great we are leading
2) It’s great that Puig has homered again
Nice to see Kemp lay off the borderline slider and take the BB.
this all seems to make sense

It’s great to finally have a steady, consistent lineup
Unless you’re Ethier.
