St.Louis Cardinals vs Los Angeles Dodgers

By Jon Weisman

Clayton Kershaw has earned a piece of National League Player of the Week honors, the sixth time the Dodger lefty has won or shared the honor.

Kershaw allowed two runs on 10 baserunners in 15 innings (1.20 ERA) while striking out 18 across two starts, one in Colorado, the other at home against St. Louis.

Kershaw shares this week’s award with New York Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom, who — believe it or not — also allowed exactly two earned runs on 10 baserunners in 15 innings (1.20 ERA) while striking out 18 across two starts. So that’s a fairly well-earned tie.
