LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers open up a series against the Angels and close out the month of July with their best on the mound. Clayton Kershaw looks to close out one of the best months of his career.
Kershaw takes a 29-inning scoreless streak into Friday night's game, and has 45 strikeouts since his last walk.
In four July starts, Kershaw is 3-0 with 45 strikeouts in 33 innings, and has allowed one run and two walks.
Since 1914, there has only been one other pitcher with at least 40 strikeouts in a single month while allowing four or fewer runs and four or fewer walks.
