Kershaw takes a perfect game into the eighth inning, but Luis Rengifo breaks it up with a leadoff double. That was the only baserunner the Angels managed in eight innings against Kershaw.
ANAHEIM — Clayton Kershaw made a run at history, but had to settle for mere dominance.
Kershaw allowed only that hit in eight shutout innings against an Angels lineup that has struggled for most of the season. The Angels were further depleted by the absence of Mike Trout, who is day to day with back spasms. The dream finally died in the eighth, when Rengifo took a 2-and-1 slider at his knees and yanked it over the head of Justin Turner and into left field, for a double.Kershaw was able to pitch the entire game with a lead because the Dodgers scored two runs against Angels starter Patrick Sandoval in the top of the first, although they could have had more.
Will Smith then singled into center field, loading the bases. It was the first of four hits for Smith, including a double and a triple.
