That was all that Kershaw needed, as the lefty held the Tribe to two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four in seven innings to pick up his ninth win of the season.
The Dodgers added an insurance run in the eighth when Chris Taylor came home on a fielder's choice off the bat of Joc Pederson. Dodgers right fielder Yasiel Puig slugged a two-run homer -- his 10th of the season -- in the second off Indians starter Trevor Bauer. The Indians right-hander went 5 2/3 innings and struck out five, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks en route to a no-decision.
