The heat in Washington DC was staggering yesterday and the humidity was a killer, but Clayton Kershaw showed no sign of dehydration as he totally dominated Bryce Harper and the Nationals. If there was any doubt that Kershaw wasn’t the Ace of the staff before the game, there shouldn’t be any doubt now. That was a power performance for the ages. 0 BB. 14 K’s! Jon Weisman reported this:
It remains astonishing but true: Since May 26, with a 1.36 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 12.5 strikeouts per nine innings, Kershaw is outperforming his 2014 NL Most Valuable Player and Cy Young Award numbers.
