SAN FRANCISCO — Clayton Kershaw became a career 20-game winner against the Giants, whose five-game win streak wilted Wednesday afternoon against the ace left-hander in a 6-1 Dodgers win at AT&T Park.
The three-time Cy Young Award winner allowed just three singles in seven shutout innings, and the Dodgers scored five times in six innings against Johnny Cueto to derail San Francisco’s hopes of its first series sweep this season.
Kershaw began the day 19-9 with a 1.66 earned run average — 1.36 at AT&T — in 38 outings against the Giants. San Francisco beat him May 1, getting home runs from Buster Posey and Hunter Pence in a 4-3 win at Dodger Stadium.
