Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 18 (UPI) -- Clayton Kershaw pitched eight shutout innings Thursday in helping the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 5-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.
Kershaw (15-5) is tied with Philadelphia's Roy Halladay and Arizona's Ian Kennedy for the most wins this season in the National League. He allowed five hits, didn't walk a batter and struck out six.
Los Angeles reliever Javy Guerra pitched the ninth and gave up a triple by Ryan Braun, a sacrifice fly from Prince Fielder and a single by Casey McGehee before closing out the win.
Fiedler has 90 runs batted in this season, second in the NL to Philadelphia's Ryan Howard.
It was just the third loss in 21 games for the Brewers, who had only two runners reach third against Kershaw.
Rod Barajas connected for a solo home run in the second inning to hang the loss on Milwaukee starter Marco Estrada (3-8). That was the only run Estrada allowed in five innings but relievers Kameron Loe and Tim Dillard each gave up two runs.
Barajas doubled and scored on a Jamey Carroll base hit. Carroll made it 3-0 by scoring on a bunt single by Kershaw in the seventh off Loe. Juan Rivera had a sacrifice fly and Aaron Miles an RBI single in the eighth for the final Los Angeles runs.
