Clayton Kershaw was fantastic. He started the evening by striking out two of the first three batters he faced, and set a tone that would endure for the rest of the night. This game was his, and no team dressed in Halloween colors would deter him from finishing his task. On 103 pitches he completed the game, struck out thirteen and allowed only one hit.
