Clayton Kershaw will have a tough act to follow when he takes the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers as they go for the sweep of the visiting Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night.
Hyun-Jin Ryu shut out the Braves on four hits in a 9-0 win on Tuesday night, the first by a Dodgers pitcher since Kershaw fired a two-hitter in a 2-0 victory against the Cincinnati Reds on May 23, 2016.
Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner set the bar high on Tuesday, as well, finishing with three home runs and six RBIs, both career highs.
