The Los Angeles Dodgers did not have their best night at the plate on Saturday, but they still were able to earn a 3-1 come-from-behind victory to defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates for a second straight game.
One key reason for that was the performance of the Dodgers pitching staff, particularly starter Clayton Kershaw. He turned in his best outing of the year, allowing just four hits and one run in seven innings while striking out a season-high eight batters without any walks.
Kershaw also managed to emerge unscathed from scary play in the top of the second inning that luckily did not lead to any injuries.
