White Sox 2, Dodgers 0

Clayton Kershaw's first win continued to elude him as the Dodgers were not able to get any offense against another left handed pitcher.

John Danks got the win, he's 5-4. Clayton Kershaw took the loss, he's 0-2. Bobby Jenks pitched a perfect 9th inning to pick up his 17th save.

Clayton Kershaw pitched a shaky four innings giving up six hits and four walks but only two runs before being pulled in the fifth. Brian Falkenborg got out of trouble without giving up a run in the fifth, and Cory Wade and Ramon Troncoso pitched two scoreless innings each to hold the White Sox to two runs.

The offense, meanwhile, were only able to get five hits and four walks for the entire game. They threatened to score a few times but were never able to cash in on their chances. Matt Kemp showed most of the offense today, walking twice and collecting a base hit but the Dodgers as a whole were shut down by lefty John Danks.

The Dodgers, throughout the month of June have not been able to win against left handed pitchers. Here are the left handed starters we've faced this month:

June 1 - Johan Santana - Mets 6, Dodgers 1
June 3 - Jeff Francis - Rockies 3, Dodgers 0
June 11 - Randy Wolf - Padres 4, Dodgers 1
June 15 - Nate Robertson - Tigers 5, Dodgers 4 (0 off Robertson)
June 20 - Cliff Lee - Indians 6, Dodgers 4 (1 off Lee)
June 21 - C.C. Sabathia - Indians 7, Dodgers 2 (1 off Sabathia)
June 24 - Mark Buehrle - White Sox 6, Dodgers 1
June 26 - John Danks - White Sox 2, Dodgers 0

The Dodgers need to figure out a way to beat left handed pitchers, they've been thoroughly shut down by them in the month of June. They'd better hurry and find out how to do it, too, because they face Joe Saunders of the Angels tomorrow at 7:40 L.A. time.
