St. Louis, MO – Rod Barajas finished 3-for-5, hit a pair of 2, in the second of three between the clubs at Busch Stadium.

Justin Sellers and Jamey Carroll each contributed three hits for Los Angeles.

Clayton Kershaw (16-5) turned in six scoreless innings, fanning eight and walking two while scattering six hits.
