Kershaw, Puig lead Dodgers over Rockies
Published: 03 Jul. 2013, 20:35
Granted, the Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder did have another stellar game, which is pretty much the standard these days. But Clayton Kershaw accomplished what few have been able to do lately - he stole some of Puig’s spotlight.
Kershaw tossed a four-hitter for his second shutout of the season as the Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies, 8-0, on Tuesday.
“He had everything working,” manager Don Mattingly said of his ace.
Kershaw (7-5) kept the Rockies off-balance all night, even top hitter Michael Cuddyer, who had his franchise-record 27-game hitting streak halted after going hitless in four plate appearances.
Cuddyer flied out to Puig in right to end the game.
The 22-year-old Puig had three more hits, including a solo homer, to raise his average to .443 this season.
