Dodgers 9, Rockies 0

DENVER — Clayton Kershaw nearly had no-hit stuff against Colorado again, allowing only two singles over eight masterful innings as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Rockies. Kershaw (10-2) extended his scoreless streak to 36 innings before being replaced by a pinch hitter in the ninth. The hard-throwing lefty bottled up the top-hitting team in the majors in nearly matching the no-hitter he threw against the Rockies on June 18 at Dodger Stadium.
