Clayton Kershaw Could Curtail Philadelphia Phillies’ Hopes of Repeating

It was a moment that called for an ace, a stopgap to a roaring faucet of losing. There are certain times throughout a season where small slides entertain the possibility of becoming somber slumps. It’s those times when a team needs its best to fulfill the appropriate title and shift the streak in the other direction.

It was one of those times for the Dodgers, albeit a small sample in what has been a fruitful season, as they had just dropped the first two games after the All-Star break to the Houston Astros.

It’s not the division that worries the Dodgers, as that is all but wrapped up. It’s playing consistent baseball and riding a strong tide of momentum into the playoffs.
