The Angels took two of the first three from the Dodgers in the Freeway Series, but the Dodgers were able to salvage a split behind Clayton Kershaw and a bunch of dingers in a 6-2 victory.

Kershaw apparently decided he had enough of everybody talking about his downfall. He had basically everything working today, going seven innings on 93 pitches. Kershaw allowed just two walks and three hits on the night, striking out a whopping 12 batters.
Even that’s misleading, however, as he probably could’ve gone for a shutout had the defense not made misplay after misplay behind him.
