Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw was named co-Player of the Week in the National League for the week ending Sunday. Kershaw won both his starts, Monday and Saturday. The Dodgers won only one other game all week.

New York Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom shared the award with Kershaw.

Here’s more from an MLB press release:

Both Kershaw and deGrom were tied for the NL lead in wins (2), innings pitched (15.0) and strikeouts (18) last week while their matching 1.20 ERAs were tied for the third-lowest among qualifying NL hurlers. Each allowed just three free passes during the week.

 

Kershaw capped his week with an 8.0-inning one-hitter in which he struck out 11 Cardinals batters in a 2-0 win on Saturday at Dodger Stadium. The gem marked the sixth career start of allowing one-or-fewer hits for the southpaw, who improved to 5-3 on the season. It also marked the first time in 2015 that Kershaw had won back-to-back decisions. On Monday, the 2014 NL Most Valuable Player and Cy Young Award winner earned his fourth victory, scattering five hits across 7.0 innings in an 11-4 win at Colorado.

 

Kershaw leads the NL with 101 strikeouts, while his 80.1 innings of work rank second. This is his sixth career weekly honor, having won most recently for the week of June 8-14, 2014.
