LOS ANGELES - Clayton Kershaw is one of five National League players in the running to win the final vote for Tuesday's All-Star Game in Cincinnati.
On Wednesday night, the Los Angeles Dodgers ace and reigning National League MVP used the Phillies to boost his campaign.
Kershaw, a three-time Cy Young Award winner, dominated baseball's worst team with his first complete game of the season. The Phillies' 5-0 loss at Dodger Stadium marked their ninth shutout defeat through 87 games.
Jimmy Rollins smoked a three-run home run and doubled and scored against his former club, providing Kershaw with more than enough run support.
