Left-hander Clayton Kershaw will seek to end the Los Angeles Dodgers' 11-game losing streak while at the same time achieving two pieces of individual glory when he pitches against the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night. The Dodgers (92-52) lost no ground to the second-place Diamondbacks (83-61) in the National League West, retaining a nine-game lead thanks to Arizona's loss to the Colorado Rockies earlier in the evening. Los Angeles did, however, see its lead over the idle Washington Nationals (88-55) shrink to 3 1/2 games in the battle for best record in the NL.
