NL West: Kershaw remains hitless in spring training

It’s not brand new information that Clayton Kershaw is good at baseball. He have yet to allow a hit all of spring training. He did allow his first baserunner in Tuesday’s game against the Giants, a leadoff walk by Gorkys Hernandez in the first inning. The ace went on to throw 35 active pitcher while in the game and then two simulated batters in the bullpen afterwords. Kershaw will have about four more starts this spring.

Here’s what else is going down in the National League West:

• Robbie Ray has had trouble with righties, so can he work around that issue for the impending season?
