Game 132: Now, the Dodgers can only eliminate themselves.

By striking out 15 batters on Wednesday, Clayton Kershaw did something no San Francisco Giants opponent had done since Aug. 9, 1987. The last pitcher to do it: Nolan Ryan. (H/t to Giants beat writer Andrew Baggarly for that pull.)

Kershaw was all the Dodgers needed. The box score is here. The photo gallery is here.

Mike Bolsinger will start Friday in San Diego, giving everyone other than Mat Latos an extra day’s rest.
