Well-placed balls and a limp suggested Clayton Kershaw was in store for an early evening, but in the end he turned in seven innings in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 2-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants. The win snapped the Dodgers’ six-game losing streak at AT&T Park.
Justin Turner singled with two outs in the first, extending his hitting streak to 11 games, which tied a career-best. It was otherwise a quiet inning for the Dodgers. Conversely, Kershaw endured an odd opening frame.
Christian Arroyo singled with one out, collecting the first hit of his career.
