Kiké Hernandez, Justin Ruggiano and A.J. Ellis homered off Bumgarner, the latter two back-to-back in the sixth inning to chase the Giants' ace. Kershaw allowed only a one-out single to Kevin Frandsen in the third inning and at the plate helped run up Bumgarner's pitch count with a 13-pitch at-bat in the fifth inning.
Kershaw (16-7 on the season and 9-3 career at AT&T Park), who also clinched the division last year by beating the Giants, struck out 13, including a stretch of 11 out of 13 batters from the fifth through ninth innings.
