The Los Angeles Dodgers continued rolling Friday night, collecting an eighth consecutive victory by defeating the Colorado Rockies, 6-1. The Dodgers enter play leading the National League West by 2.5 games.
They can further distance themselves and win another series with Clayton Kershaw on the mound. He’s coming off a rough outing in which the New York Mets tagged Kershaw for a career-worst four home runs.
In total, he allowed six runs on six hits, issued one walk, but did have 10 strikeouts and earned a 10th win on the season. Of the rough outing, Kershaw said he was going to take a ‘screw it’ approach and move on.
