The Dodgers beat the Cardinals 7-3, holding a lead throughout the game. Kershaw pitched an effective five innings — Los Angeles has been keeping his work limited since he started taking the mound in the middle of May. He struck out seven batters and only allowed one run on six hits.

Not to mention, the splits are working in his favor. He’s hitting nearly .400 against RHPs this season, while McGreevy — albeit over a small sample — has looked more susceptible to allowing damage against left-handed bats.
