Clayton Kershaw didn’t reach his magic number, but he sure had the Rockies’ number.
The veteran left-hander perplexed the Rockies for six innings, leading the Dodgers to a 3-1 victory and tidy finish to their three-game sweep at Coors Field. Los Angeles beat Colorado for the 10th straight time.
Colorado, which managed just five baserunners (two hits, three walks) in the game, has been swept 12 times this season.
Kershaw (4-0, 3.03 ERA) allowed one run on two hits, walked one, and struck out five. The five Ks left him just three shy of 3,000 strikeouts for his career.
