Mets Shut Out 5-0 By Clayton Kershaw, Dodgers
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Clayton Kershaw tossed his second complete-game shutout this month, Yasmani Grandal hit a three-run homer and Chase Utley added a solo shot to help the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Mets 5-0 Thursday night for a split of the four-game series.
Making his 250th career start, Kershaw (5-1) struck out 13 on 108 pitches and walked one to win his third straight. He only gave up three hits. It was the left-hander's fifth straight start with double-digit strikeouts, a club record.
The Dodgers jumped on Bartolo Colon (3-2) with four runs in the first inning. Their first run came on Justin Turner's RBI single before Grandal homered off a 2-0 pitch into the right-field pavilion, making it 4-0 on his third homer of the season.
Chase Utley added a two-out homer in the second for a 5-0 lead.
