Kershaw extends scoreless streak to 37 innings

Deciding that Clayton Kershaw’s sore something – hip? glute? groin? – could benefit from an additional day of rest, the Dodgers pushed him back to Saturday and called on Zack Greinke to step in.

Kershaw last yielded a run in the fourth inning of a 2-1 loss to the Mets on July 3.

Taking the hill for the Dodgers today will be Clayton Kershaw, who is 8-6 with a 2.51 ERA in 20 starts this year, while at home he has gone 5-2 with a 1.87 ERA.
