Clayton Kershaw tosses a gem, Shohei Ohtani homers twice in Dodgers’ win over Giants

The offense scored 11 times. Shohei Ohtani hit two home runs. And the team regained sole possession of first place in the division.

But on a night of all-around excellence from the Dodgers, no one impressed quite like the man who endures as the most familiar face on the team.

Clayton Kershaw might only throw 90 mph (on a good fastball) now. He might lack the ever-imposing aura that emanated through the peak of his career.

But at 37 years old, and in his 18th MLB season, the future Hall of Fame left-hander can still consistently locate his pitches, still instinctively mix his three-pitch arsenal and still pitch — in every meaning of the word — his way through a big league outing.
