Dueling aces: Strasburg, Kershaw meet in L.A.
Stephen Strasburg squares off against Clayton Kershaw tonight as the Nationals face the Dodgers.
Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg (10-0, 2.90) and Dodgers lefty Clayton Kershaw (10-1, 1.58) square off tonight (10 p.m., ESPN) in a matchup of NL Cy Young Award candidates.
The talented Strasburg is having perhaps the best year of his career, landing among the majors leaders in wins and strikeouts (118). Of course, he trails Kershaw in both categories.
Los Angeles' ace has 133 strikeouts and just seven walks this season, and Kershaw has reached double digits in strikeouts in nine of his past 11 starts.
