Even though they continue to lose player after player to the disabled list, the Dodgers still have their pitching staff intact, and more specifically they have a healthy Clayton Kershaw. The Dodgers ace gave the team exactly what they needed on Saturday night, pitching his fourth career shutout as the Dodgers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-0 at Dodger Stadium for their third straight win.
The Dodgers received another blow today, as second baseman Mark Ellis was placed on the disabled list with a yet undisclosed left leg injury. Losing Ellis was just part of a middle infield shakeup by the Dodgers, as slumping shortstop Dee Gordon has been moved to the bench "for a few days," per manager Don Mattingly.
The Dodgers are off to a 17-4 start at home this season and while the pitching has been a factor in that success, the offense has really come alive at Dodger Stadium.
