MILWAUKEE -- Clayton Kershaw has set the bar so high for himself that a six-hit outing over eight innings qualifies as a subpar effort for the two-time Cy Young Award winner. The Los Angeles Dodgers ace walked two and allowed leadoff hitters to reach base in four of his first five innings but still came away with his 11th straight victory in a 5-1 win Sunday over the Milwaukee Brewers. He struck out six, nearly five below his average per nine innings. This equates to "struggling" for Kershaw. "It was a struggle for him all day long. It felt like he was working hard but he kept battling and giving us chances," manager Don Mattingly said. Nevertheless, Kershaw (14-2) lowered his league-leading ERA to 1.78 and tied for the NL lead in victories. Adrian Gonzalez drove in two runs and scored the go-ahead run in the fifth off Jimmy Nelson (2-3), and the Dodgers avoided a three-game sweep in a matchup of divisional leaders. "It was a good one for us to bounce back and hopefully it gets us going in the right direction again," Mattingly said. Kershaw also reached base three times and had an RBI single in the eighth. On the mound, Kershaw benefited from base-running blunders and aggressive play by the Brewers that went awry. "Its fun to feel like a baseball player every once in a while," Kershaw said. "We get labeled as pitchers only sometimes so its fun to get some dirt on your jersey every once in a while." In the third, Nelson wasted his leadoff double after getting tagged out trying to advance from second on a grounder by Carlos Gomez. Later, Gomez was picked off first. Rickie Weeks hit a leadoff double in fifth. Two batters later, Jean Segura popped up a squeeze attempt caught by a charging Kershaw in front of the plate. He threw to third to easily double off Weeks. "I think anytime you face a pitcher like Kershaw, if you try to just get stagnant, I dont think much is going to happen," manager Ron Roenicke said. That strategy worked to perfection in the first. Gomez walked and stole second for his 25th steal of the year. Ryan Braun followed with an RBI single to stake Nelson to an early 1-0 lead. But after a strong first couple innings, Nelson appeared to have trouble keeping his sinker down. Nelson allowed eight hits and two runs in six innings -- too many against Kershaw, Gonzalez increased his season RBI total to 79. His run-scoring double in the seventh came after Carl Crawford singled and move to third following two throwing errors on a pickoff attempt. JIMMYS DAY Nelson could be in line to start against Kershaw again on Friday when the Brewers start a three-game series in Los Angeles. Consider Sunday a learning experience for Brewers rookie. "It is the high-stress pitches you want to stay away from. You dont want to have to battle through three of your six innings," he said. "I just have to get the ball in the zone earlier in the count and force them to have early swings." TRAINERS ROOM DODGERS: Shortstop Hanley Ramirez was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right rib cage muscle retroactive to Saturday. Manager Don Mattingly said the team was being overly cautious, and that Ramirez may need just the minimum time to recover. BREWERS: Matt Garza, placed on the disabled list on Aug. 5 for a left rib cage muscle strain, wont start throwing again until he is "completely pain-free," manager Ron Roenicke said. He added that Garza will likely need more than 15 days to return. UP NEXT DODGERS: Dan Haren (9-9) is the scheduled starter Monday in Atlanta, though Mattingly said newly-acquired right-hander Kevin Correia (5-13) would likely take a spot turn to give the rest of the rotation extra rest. Los Angeles is in the midst of a 20-day stretch without a day off. BREWERS: Milwaukee assured itself of a winning homestand against top NL West teams San Francisco and Los Angeles after taking the first two games against the Dodgers. Roenicke promised the teams focus wouldnt change when a four-game series starts Monday against the last-place Cubs in Chicago. Yovani Gallardo (6-6) gets the start. E.J. Gaines Jersey . Messis 75th-minute goal answered some of the criticism the clubs all-time leading scorer had received for his lacklustre performances in the teams recent losses in the league, Champions League and Copa del Rey final. Austin Corbett Jersey . You can watch all the action on TSN2 beginning at 7pm et/4pm pt. Pineda won his second straight start last Wednesday against Chicago, as he held the Cubs to just four hits over six scoreless innings to run his record to 2-0, while lowering his ERA to 1. http://www.brownsauthenticproshop.com/Youth-Damarious-Randall-Browns-Jersey/. Cory Batey and Brandon Vandenburg were each convicted on four charges of aggravated rape, one of attempted aggravated rape and two for aggravated sexual battery. Vandenburg was also found guilty of tampering with evidence as well as an unlawful photography charge. Carlos Hyde Browns Jersey . Cruz set the tone with a two-run homer in the first inning, and Baltimore scored eight times in the eighth to pull away for a 12-3 victory in Game 1. The major league leader with 40 homers during the regular season, Cruz added an RBI single to his early blast off Max Scherzer. Browns Jerseys .com) - Nicklas Backstrom scored a pair of goals and Alex Ovechkin notched a highlight-reel tally, leading the Washington Capitals to a 4-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Saturday at the Prudential Center.GREEN BAY, Wis. - An impressive streak will come to an end on Sunday at Lambeau Field.The winner of the marquee playoff matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers advances to the NFC championship game. The loser is relegated to a footnote in a first-of-its-kind meeting in the post-season.Dallas was perfect on the road this year, while Green Bay was perfect at home. Never before has an 8-0 road team in the regular season visited an 8-0 home team in the NFL playoffs.So youve got an immovable object going up against an unstoppable force, Packers fullback John Kuhn said. Which one is going to give, well find out.It should be pretty entertaining in the process.The offences have the potential to match each other score for score. The skill positions are stocked with stars, especially at quarterback.Dallas Tony Romo led the league in the regular season with a 113.2 passer rating, one point ahead of MVP candidate Aaron Rodgers.But the game may not come down to Rodgers right arm.Rodgers has been slowed the last couple weeks in practice by a strained left calf. He has vowed to play, though mobility might be an issue.All signs at the end of the week pointed to Rodgers being ready to go. Rodgers, who was listed as probable on the injury report, can do just as much damage standing the pocket as on the move.Plus, Green Bays offensive line has played well all year.He looks like hes moving fine to me right now. (We are) not going to change anything or our approach of how we want to attack Dallas defence, coach Mike McCarthy said.Most teams might be fretting at the prospect of facing Rodgers at Lambeau, where the Packers have had long stretches of dominance with the ball.The Cowboys seem unfazed. In fact, theyre quite comfortable on the road.We just kind of put our head down and go to work, Romo said. I dont know that we really get affected by where were playing or who were going against and that sort of thing.Here are some things to watch ahead of the teams first meeting since the Packers had a come-from-behind 37-36 win in 2013 in Dallas:CALF WATCH: The most closely-monitored leg muscle in Wisconsin belonged to Rodgers, who first hurt his left calf three weeks ago. He hasnt practiced much over the last week in order to focus on treatment, though most teammates think their veteran leader could play well without any practice at all.ddddddddddddo, Im going Sunday. Just a matter of how, Rodgers said at midweek.McCarthy expects Dallas to stick with a typical scheme that doesnt include much blitzing. The Packers could also line up Rodgers in more shotgun formations to limit his steps.CLEARED COWBOYS: Linebacker Rolando McClain and defensive end Jeremy Mincey cleared concussion tests and practiced Friday after missing the first two workouts of the week dealing with symptoms coming out of the win over Detroit. They are important pieces for the Cowboys, especially against the potent Packers.McClain, though hes had a hard time staying on the field late in the season, has been a stabilizer as a late addition before training camp after Sean Lee was lost for the year to a knee injury.Mincey, who joined Dallas as a free agent after going to the Super Bowl with Denver last season, has been a leader for the line and came on late to lead the team with seven sacks.SLOWING DOWN?: NFL rushing leader DeMarco Murray ran for at least 100 yards in 10 of the first 11 games, but has been held under the century mark in four of the past six games, including 75 against the Lions. Hes up to 411 carries and is closing in on doubling his previous career high of 217.I feel fresh, said Murray, who has 1,920 yards in 17 games. I havent missed time. Im feeling good.CLAMPING DOWN: Green Bays run defence improved in the second half of the season. Once the worst unit against the run in the league, the Packers started giving Clay Matthews more snaps at inside linebacker at midseason to help tighten up against the ground game.But stopping Murray will by far be the toughest test for the improved run defence.THIRD GO-ROUND: Romo and Jason Witten have their third chance to reach the NFC championship game. After losing a division-round game to the New York Giants as the No. 1 seed in the NFC during the 2007 season, they followed a wild-card win over Philadelphia with a blowout loss to Brett Favre and Minnesota two years later. Its just exciting to be in this position, Witten said. So much work and the challenges to get back here, you dont take that for granted.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL___AP Sports Writer Schuyler Dixon in Dallas contributed to this story.
