Clayton Kershaw and Kenley Jansen proved to be a lethal combination again for the Dodgers in Game 2 of the NLCS on Sunday night. The dynamic duo pushed each other to new heights in their 1-0 win over the Cubs to even their best-of-7 series.
"[Kershaw has] been incredible. He's our workhorse. He's our guy,” said Adrian Gonzalez (to Jon Morosi on MLB Network), whose second-inning home run provided the only offense. “When he's on the mound we really like our chance of winning, and tonight he showed why.”
Kershaw pitched seven scoreless innings, the first scoreless start of his postseason career, coming off a busy NLDS that saw him start twice, including once on short rest, then finish off the series with a save in Game 5.
