Even though the Dodgers lost, Kershaw struck out seven Tigers batters in just under seven total innings. He also gave up only four hits, one earned run, and two walks.
The only question that remains for Kershaw will be how much higher he can go. His next start is slated for Thursday.
The Dodgers are currently 13-7 overall on the season heading into Sunday’s series finale.
