Clayton Kershaw was excellent for seven innings Wednesday afternoon at Dodger Stadium. The lefty put the clamps down on Milwaukee to lead the Dodgers to a big win.
A close game into the later innings, the Dodgers scored in pairs for the sixth and seventh inning to pull away to a 5-2 victory. The win gives the Dodgers a 3-2 lead in the series as it shifts to Milwaukee for Game 6 Friday night.
Kershaw worked through a wobbly third inning that saw him walk two — including opposing pitcher Brandon Woodruff — and leave a slider over the outer half of the plate for Lorenzo Cain to smash.
