Clayton Kershaw scattered three hits over seven shutout innings, earning his 20th career win against the San Francisco Giants. The Los Angeles Dodgers provided their ace with early run support and snapped a three-game losing streak behind a 6-1 victory.
Corey Seager’s base hit and Justin Turner’s double put two on with one out. After Johnny Cueto struck out Cody Bellinger, he surrendered a two-out, two-run double to Yasmani Grandal. While Cueto then began to exchange words with Grandal during Chris Taylor’s at-bat.
The dust-up was the first of two between Cueto and Grandal. Chase Utley led off the third inning with an infield single, which Seager followed with a line drive to right field.
