Clayton Kershaw delivers much-needed strong start in Dodgers’ win over Brewers

LA Times  

Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers pitches in the first inning against the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday. Clayton Kershaw returned the favor Wednesday, giving an overworked relief corps a much-needed respite with a dominant, seven-inning start to lead the Dodgers to an 8-1 victory and a series win at American Family Field. “There’s not many more words you can really say about a first-ballot Hall of Famer,” Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman, who snapped out of a three-for-21 slump with a solo homer and a two-run single, said of Kershaw. First baseman Freddie Freeman is congratulated by manager Dave Roberts after hitting a home run in the fourth inning for the Dodgers’ first run Wednesday. But they roughed up Brewers left-hander Eric Lauer on Tuesday and Miley on Wednesday, collecting 11 runs and 10 hits, including five homers, in 8⅔ innings against them, and they’re scheduled to face another left-hander in Blake Snell when they open a three-game series against the San Diego Padres in Dodger Stadium on Friday night.
