Post-Game 43 Thread: Kershaw Rolls, Kemp Goes Deep
Sons of Steve Garvey — Nice to see that swing again, Matt. DODGERS 3, BREWERS 1 Clayton Kershaw was masterful: CG 9.0 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 5 Ks, 1 BB, 107 pitches in a 3-1 victory. Kershaw almost got through the last three innings without a baserunner, save an error from the always volatileDee Gordon (0-for-4 with 2 Ks, 3 LOB, and an error tonight). But the awesome highlight was watching Matt Kemp knock his second HR of the year, a no-doubt-about-it shot to the stands in deep left center.

May 20, 2013Touch of Class from Jason Heyward
Sons of Steve Garvey — At the depth of our pain of being burned by HRs the past two games, the best we can do is look for little bits of sunshine in otherwise dark days. Here's something you don't see a lot these days in sport, at least during a game. After Matt Kemp robbed Jason Heyward of what looked to be a HR with an amazing, well-timed catch, Heyward rounded second base and looked to Kemp in the outfield to pay his sportsmanlike respect for the feat. Hat tip to Kemp for the web gem catch, and to Heyward for his class. Now, back to being surly and feeling the hate.
