It was more of the same for Clayton Kershaw, who added another chapter to his Hall of Fame story with the Dodgers.
Kershaw made his seventh straight All-Star team and won his fifth ERA title, topping the National League with a 2.31 mark. He joined rare company, lowering his career ERA — now 2.36 — for a ninth consecutive season.
Kershaw finished second in National League Cy Young Award voting, and is the only pitcher to receive first-place votes in seven consecutive seasons. He joined Greg Maddux as the only pair to finish in the top five in Cy Young balloting in seven straight years.
