4 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers left-handed pitcher Clayton Kershaw is firmly back in the National League Cy Young hunt following another scoreless outing Thursday. Through his first six starts, Kershaw has amassed a 1.50 ERA with 41 strikeouts in 36 innings, having allowed a combined 10 hits in his last four appearances. The southpaw owns a 0.72 WHIP, the premier mark among all starters in the Majors. With an elite walk rate still in his back pocket (4.5%), Kershaw has bumped up his K% (30.6%) to its highest levels since 2016. He is set to face Arizona again next week, yet to allow a run in the first 11 innings that the two sides have met this year.--Jesse Borek
