The Braves recorded five hits before Kershaw notched his fourth out, but the three-time National League Cy Young Award winner used 10 strikeouts and a couple of timely groundouts to limit the damage over eight innings. The Braves' lone run came courtesy of consecutive doubles from Erick Aybar and Daniel Castro to begin the bottom of the first.
Unfazed by the lingering effects of Sunday's six-pitch emergency relief appearance or his matchup against Kershaw, Matt Wisler limited the Dodgers to one unearned run as he threw a career-high 115 pitches over 6 2/3 innings.
