Kershaw updates LAD/Cardinal Dodger Stadium leaderboads

Phil Gurnee ♦ May 24, 2017 ♦ Leave a comment

Last night Clayton Kershaw twirled a gem, posting a game score of 87 with ten strikeouts. Yesterday I posted the LAD/Cardinal Game Score  and Double Digit strikeout leaderboards of games pitched at Dodger Stadium.

With that game last night, Kershaw wedged himself into those leaderboards so I have to update them.  Which is why I post them, hoping I’ll have to update them.
His game score of 87 is now good for fifth best ever against the Cardinals at Dodger Stadium.
