Clayton Kershaw's scoreless-innings streak meets early demise

Justin Turner led the Dodgers with a .323 batting average and a .563 slugging percentage when he was placed on the disabled list with a skin infection. How his two replacements at third base have fared at the plate:

Alex Guerrero: 1-for-13 (.077), one run, two RBIs, no walks, one home run (.308 slugging)

Alberto Callaspo: 6-for-23 (.261), one run, no RBIs, two walks, no extra-base hits (.261 slugging)

PITTSBURGH >> Clayton Kershaw’s consecutive scoreless-innings streak ended quickly Friday.

Pittsburgh Pirates leadoff hitter Gregory Polanco planted Kershaw’s first pitch of the game over the right-center-field fence, the first run any team had scored off Kershaw in 37 innings.
