Dodgers 5, White Sox 0

Eric Stults makes his second straight excellent start to propel the Dodgers to a 5-0 win over Chicago.

Eric Stults got the win, he's 2-0. Gavin Floyd takes the loss, he's 8-4.

Stults made his second start of the year and pitched very well, shutting down the White Sox for the full nine innings picking up the second complete game shutout on the year for the Dodgers. Stults gave up just four hits and a walk over the nine innings, while striking out three. Most importantly, he threw strikes, getting 81 out of 116 pitches over the plate (69.8%).

Offensively the Dodgers were able to get across a few runs. They scored two in the 1st inning and three in the 4th inning to amount to the five total runs in the game. They collected six hits, each by different Dodgers including a single from James Loney, who extended his hitting streak to 12 games.

The Dodgers will try tomorrow to win the series against the White Sox in the rubber match of the series. Clayton Kershaw will take on John Danks. Interesting that Eric Stults since coming up from Las Vegas has made two starts and won both while Kershaw in his six starts since his call-up has yet to get his first. He'll try again tomorrow.
