Settling the Score: Saturday’s results

The Dodgers are back on top in the NL West.

Clayton Kershaw allowed just two hits and a walk over nine shutout innings and Adrian Gonzalez finished 3-for-5 with two doubles as Los Angeles dominated the host Giants on Saturday night in San Francisco. Kershaw now has a 0.69 ERA in 78 2/3 career innings at AT&T Park and his 2014 season ERA is down to an MLB-best 1.76 through 112 1/3 innings this year. Gonzalez had a rough first half but is now 13-for-31 (.420) with five extra-base hits and eight RBI in eight games since the All-Star break.

The Dodgers will look to put some distance between themselves and the Giants in Sunday night’s series finale.

It’ll be Hyun-Jin Ryu versus new Giants starter Jake Peavy.

Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports that the Padres will place outfielder Franchy Cordero on the 10-day disabled list and activate outfielder Hunter Renfroe from the DL on Monday.

Cordero, 23, has been slumping, batting .140 with four extra-base hits in 47 plate appearances dating back to May 11. The Padres noticed that the forearm issue has been affecting his swing in recent games. Manager Andy Green said, “It was something where he could swing a certain way to manage it. But swinging that way was not him.”

Renfroe, 26, has been out since mid-April due to inflammation in his right elbow. He hit .200/.281/.440 in 57 PA prior to landing on the disabled list. Renfroe played in 10 rehab games with Triple-A El Paso.
