Playoffs Week 2: Saturday's report

Clayton Kershaw has been looking good lately.
(Just kidding. That's a Franklin Stubbs jersey.)
STUDS: Clayton Kershaw (SSS) had an RBI double and struck out 8 in 8 shutout innings as the Dodgers shut down Philadelphia. Martin Prado (AL) had a 3-run homer, 3 singles and 4 runs. Paul Goldschmidt (TB) had a 3-run homer, 2 singles and 2 runs. Jason Heyward (Rookies) hit a solo homer, then blasted a 2-run homer to tie the game in the ninth inning.

DUDS: If you were looking for a quality duel between Stephen Strasburg (Rookies) and Mike Minor (Muumuu), you surely were disappointed. Strasburg was ejected and allowed 2 runs with 1 strikeout in 1 inning, and Minor allowed 4 runs with 2 Ks in 1.2 innings. Justin Upton (SSS) went 0 for 6 with 5 strikeouts, also known as the Dave Kingman Special.
