- Although Clayton Kershaw has accomplished just about everything it's possible to do on a baseball mound during his 16-year career, he had never beaten the New York Yankees until Friday night.
"Feels good to pitch good - definitely better than the last few," Kershaw said. "And when we score six in the first inning, that's a great way to pitch. It's just trying to get our guys back in the dugout as quick as possible."
He has now beaten every team in the majors except Baltimore. He has never faced the Orioles, but the Dodgers are headed to Camden Yards next month. Betts finished 4 for 4 with a walk and three RBI in his second straight two-homer game for the NL-leading Dodgers. "The energy was a little different tonight," said Betts, who hit the 41st leadoff homer of his career. "I think the schedule, bringing in teams like that, letting everybody see Judge, Stanton, their whole lineup, is super-cool. It's fun to play in games like this."
