Clayton Kershaw may have made his major league debut in 2008, but tonight the young Dodger pitcher looked like a major league ace for the first time in his career. With 13 strikeouts in seven innings of work, Kershaw dominated the Giants with his fastball. The left-hander looked unhitable -- and he was, save for a solo homer by Bengie Molina in the second.
Fantasy Impact: Kershaw left with a 2-1 lead and watched Aaron Rowand ruin his win with a 3-run homer in the eighth off of Hong-Chih Kuo. Such is life in the big leagues. Kershaw's ERA dropped to 1.50. His days of inconsistencies are probably not fully in the rear-view mirror just yet, but you can expect sparkling performances such as this to be sprinkled in just as often.
