The Los Angeles Dodgers were not able to complete a two-game sweep of the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday night as despite withstanding Mike Fiers’ bid for a perfect game and erasing an early 2-0 deficit, they wound up falling, 3-2.
Clayton Kershaw got the start on the mound and clearly did not have his best stuff, striking out just one batter, which was a season low. He managed to get through six innings though, allowing just six hits and two runs without walking a hitter.
Since coming off the disabled list at the end of June, Kershaw has given up three runs or less in all nine of his starts, which is definitely a positive sign for the Dodgers.
