Phillies power up against Clayton Kershaw to beat the Dodgers, 5-1

Phillies power up against Clayton Kershaw to beat the Dodgers, 5-1 Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw struck out five Philadelphia Phillies in the first two innings, struck out 11 overall and struck out the side three times in however his six innings of work.

But all the 22-year-old left-hander had to show for it Wednesday afternoon was his fourth career loss without a victory against the defending National League champions as the Dodgers' hopes for a playoff berth dimmed even further.

That's because Kershaw also gave up early solo home runs to Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino which, combined with no-hit pitching by Roy Oswalt (10-13) through nearly six innings, led the Phillies to a 5-1 win over the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium.
