From Rotoworld: Kershaw allowed just three singles, a double and a walk over six scoreless innings while striking out eight Colorado batters in a win Saturday. Kershaw has been winning on a regular basis, but he has also been serving up plenty of long balls lately. Saturday’s start was his first outing since May 23 where he did not have one of his pitches leave the year. He’ll look to keep it rolling in Saturday’s road game in San Diego.
Ramirez kept the Red Sox to one run over six innings Saturday, leading the Angels to a 6-3 victory. Ramirez gave up just four hits, one of which was a Mitch Moreland solo home run for the only Sox run against him. He also didn’t walk a batter while striking out five. A lot of the shine has worn off the 28-year-old since his surprising start to the season, but he’s still 7-5 with a passable 4.38 ERA in 17 appearances. Another tough test is on tap for Thursday, when the Angels travel “across town” to face the Dodgers in an interleague battle.
