Clayton Kershaw's Dominance Secures Dodgers' Playoff Bye
Clayton Kershaw pitched five scoreless innings, earning his 210th career victory and surpassing Don Drysdale for second place on the Dodgers' all-time wins list. The win also secured the Dodgers a bye in the National League Wild Card round of the playoffs. Despite pitching with limitations due to left shoulder inflammation, Kershaw has been effective in his recent outings, posting a 2.03 ERA in his last seven starts. The Dodgers plan to use Kershaw as a starter in the NLDS.
