Clayton Kershaw got the loss on Saturday, July 22, but it was not due to poor pitching. In six innings, Kershaw struck out five batters, walked none, and allowed a total of four runs only one of which was earned. Kershaw’s biggest competition on Saturday was his own team’s defense as they allowed runs to score on two separate occasions, both of which were errors. His control and velocity looked very much like his healthy self and he actually looked quite dominant during the start if not for the defense’s woes. Kershaw appears to be fully healthy and the task for the Dodgers should be to just keep him that way as they head towards the playoffs.
