It's almost as if Clayton Kershaw hadn't been away at all. The Los Angeles ace was sharp in his first start in five weeks, holding the San Diego Padres to two infield singles in six innings in a 1-0 victory Friday night that snapped the Dodgers' season-high five-game losing streak. ''Efficiency-wise I think it was as good as I could have expected,'' said Kershaw, who was targeted for five innings or 75 pitches, and threw 70.
