Dodger Pitchers Oh So Close

On Wednesday Dodgers' minor leaguer Jon Ely had this line through 6 and 2/3 innings of a double-header-shortened AAA game:
6 2/3 innings, 0 hits, 0 runs, 4 walks, 7 strikeouts.

He ended the game with this line:
7 innings, 1 hit, 0 runs, 4 walks, 7 strikeouts.

Ely was one out away from a (shortened) no-hitter.


On Thursday Dodgers' ace Clayton Kershaw had this line through 8 and 2/3 innings of a game against the Braves:
8 2/3 innings, 2 hits, 1 run, 3 walks, 7 strikeouts.

He ended the game with this line:
8 2/3 innings, 5 hits, 3 runs, 4 walks, 7 strikeouts

After giving up this bloop of a hit on a decent pitch that jammed Ross.

Kershaw was one out away from a complete game victory.

We won both games but each one could have been a little bit more special.
