Noah Syndergaard, the Mighty Thor, struck out nine Royals and allowed just three hits in seven shutout innings for the Mets yesterday, also getting him Yesterday’s MVP.
Standings:
Francisco Liriano: 1
Clayton Kershaw: 1
Noah Syndergaard: 1
Uh oh, Kershaw has learned how to throw a change-up. This is very bad for opposing hitters but very good for him and his odds at getting the MVP of Yesterday, like he did… yesterday, when he allowed only one hit and struck out nine as the Dodgers ran amuck on the Padres.
Standings:
Francisco Liriano: 1
Clayton Kershaw: 1
Clayton Kershaw gave up just one hit and one walk while striking out 13 last night, getting the win as the Dodgers won the NL West title, eliminating their arch-rival Giants.
Standings, as always, after the jump:
The MVP of Yesterday is the person who should win the NL All-Star Final Vote: Clayton Kershaw. He threw a complete game shutout, striking out 13. Of course, it was against the Phillies, but still.
Standings, as always, after the jump:
Clayton Kershaw was actually tied with Mark Buerhle for WAR yesterday, pitching-wise, but there is also the small matter that KERSHAW TRIPLED IN A RUN. I repeat, a pitcher TRIPLED IN A RUN. He also made a cool behind-the-back catch and laid down a sweet sac bunt, too.
So, yes, yet again, Clayton Kershaw is the MVP of Yesterday. He’s almost certainly going to win it for the season.
Standings, as ever, after the jump:
Clayton Kershaw was awesome yesterday. Yaaawwwwwwnnnnn. 8 innings, no earned runs, 10 Ks….
Just another day in the life of the greatest pitcher since Pedro Martinez was in Boston.
Standings after the jump:
9 Innings. 1 ER. 9 hits allowed but also 9 strikeouts. Zero outs recorded by the outfielders! Clayton Kershaw out-dueled Julio Teheran and won the game for the Dodgers yesterday. It’s his… FIFTH MVP OF YESTERDAY, PUTTING HIM IN THE LEAD!
Standings after jump:
Highest Game Scores in history, 9-inning game:
Kerry Wood’s 21-K one-hitter: 105
Clayton Kershaw’s No-Hitter Last Night: 102
…And then every other game ever pitched, including perfect games.
Gee, I wonder who the MVP of Yesterday is?
Standings after the jump:
Clayton Kershaw gave another inhumanly good 8-inning shutout performance yesterday, and also got a hit and an RBI in the Dodgers’ win yesterday. So he’s the MVP of Yesterday. Again. It’s his third time this season.
Standings after jump:
The Dodgers are 42-8 for the last 50 games, something that hasn’t happened for ANY team since the 1942 Cardinals and only the third overall in the modern era (the 1941 Yankees also did it). And part of the reason they have done so is because of their pitching, such as that of Cy Young-award frontrunner Clayton Kershaw, who’s 8 shutout innings yesterday not only made him the MVP of Yesterday, but put him at a ludicrous 1.80 ERA.
