Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw put on a vintage performance Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals.

The veteran southpaw allowed one run on six hits, no walks, and threw seven strikeouts across five frames. It was Kershaw’s best start of the season as he tossed four scoreless innings before allowing a run in the fifth.
The three-time Cy Young winner’s seven strikeouts put him just 17 shy of 3,000. Kershaw would become the 20th member of the 3,000 strikeout club if he were to reach the feat this season.
