Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles Dodgers (1-3, 4.02)
It's hard to call it a streak - Kershaw has only started four games this season. Nonetheless, it's still worth noting that his last two starts were shutout performances for the rookie left-hander. He held the hapless Nationals scoreless for six innings on July 27, which is one thing, but he followed that up with six shutout innings against a much more respectable Arizona Diamondbacks lineup. After that performance, Arizona's manager Bob Melvin had nothing but praise for the 20-year-old.
"He's got great stuff. I mean, you can see why they're pretty excited about him," Melvin said of Kershaw. "I think he was throwing a little harder than the gun would suggest. He had a real good curveball and it seemed like he could throw it all counts. He's definitely something to be excited about."
