Some victories are sweeter than others. For the San Francisco Giants, beating Clayton Kershaw 4-3 at Dodger Stadium tastes better than the Camino Verde Canele from Dandelion Chocolate on Valencia Street.
Kershaw has owned the Giants in his career. In 36 career starts entering Monday's game, he was 19-8 with a 1.60 ERA. He's allowed zero runs or one run 19 times in those 36 games. The Dodgers had won seven of the past eight times Kershaw started against the Giants, and the Giants hadn't scored more than three runs off Kershaw at Dodger Stadium since 2011.
