CHICAGO (AP) — Clayton Kershaw might not have been as sharp as usual coming off a rare nine-day gap between starts.
Then again, the Dodgers’ ace is awfully good, even when he’s not at his best.
Kershaw pitched seven innings for his major league-leading 15th victory and the Los Angeles Dodgers edged the Chicago White Sox 1-0 on Tuesday night for their 10th straight victory.
Kershaw (15-2) made his first start since the All-Star break, allowing seven hits and a walk to post his 11th win in a row.
“I was little rusty tonight,” said Kershaw, who struck out seven and lowered his ERA to 2.
