Matching Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw almost pitch for pitch, it was Miles Mikolas and the Cardinals who came out on the wrong side of the duel Tuesday night.
After both Mikolas and Kershaw allowed one run in the second inning, Kershaw shut the Cardinals down in the third inning and Mikolas allowed the go-ahead RBI double to Justin Turner. Quelled by Kershaw as the game continued, the Cardinals wouldn’t come back from the deficit in their 3-1 loss at Dodger Stadium. Cardinals play the Dodgers again this afternoon, Jack Flaherty starts for St Louis, Dustin May starts for the Dodgers.
