On Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium, the Los Angeles Dodgers did what they do best by thumping the Milwaukee Brewers 7-1 to extend their winning run to a season-high 10 games. Furthermore, they've advanced to a 14-1 record since the start of August.

The Dodgers have achieved success in a variety of ways. The starting pitching and bullpen have been in excellent form.
This continued on Wednesday as Clayton Kershaw made his second start after being activated off the disabled list due to a left shoulder issue. In five innings of work, he gave up just one run while striking out two.

"This run we're on right now is a shoutout to everybody. It takes everybody to put something together like this," said Mookie Betts.
Clayton Kershaw's return to form
The starting pitcher was outstanding on the night, with 13 strikeouts over eight scoreless innings to aid in the team's two-game sweep over the Brewers.
During the regular season, Kershaw has compiled a 2.16 ERA and 0.84 WHIP with 62 strikeouts in 58.1 innings over 10 starts.
The team will be encouraged by Kershaw's performance and look to continue their winning streak as the playoffs inch closer.
The LA Dodgers sit pretty on top of the NL table with a 74-46 record.
