Philadelphia Phillies vs Los Angeles Dodgers

By Jon Weisman

So it’s the Dodgers’ official position that Clayton Kershaw is an All-Star, and it’s my personal position that Clayton Kershaw is an All-Star, and a lot of people in the baseball world outside of Los Angeles seem to agree that Clayton Kershaw is an All-Star, but at the end of the day, we’re all selling him short.

Clayton Kershaw is Clayton Kershaw. And whatever team he is on — that’s the team to be on.

Clayton 13 K

In tonight’s 5-0 victory over Philadelphia, the No. 2 strikeout performance of his career, behind only his 15-K no-hitter, Kershaw faced 36 batters tonight, and threw 31 pitches out of the strike zone.
