Dodgers turn to Clayton Kershaw in finale with Mets

Clayton Kershaw looks to continue his tremendous start to 2016, and looks to finish off his amazing May with the series finale between the Dodgers and Mets on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball.

Kershaw enters Sunday leading the majors in innings pitched (79), strikeouts (95) and ERA (1.48), and so far has walked only five batters all season.

He is lasting deeper into games this season, averaging 7.9 innings per start and lasting at least seven frames in all 10 starts so far. Kershaw is the first Dodgers pitcher since Fernando Valenzuela in 1981 to last at least seven innings in his first 10 starts.
