Double-play ball eliminates that base-runner. Kershaw faces the minimum through three innings. 34 pitches/23 strikes. Allegedly done after 3

Kershaw pitched the first two innings without giving up a hit, before he surrendered an infield single in the 3rd.

He finished with 3 innings pitched, 0 runs, 0 walks, 1 hit, 5 strikeouts, 34 pitches and did not let a ball get past the infield.

Brett Anderson came to Kershaw's relief after three scoreless innings.
