Kershaw was dominant throughout the month posting a 5-0 record with a 0.91 ERA. The five-time All-Star had three complete game shutouts in the month as well.

Kershaw has won this award six times throughout his career and it will certainly not be his last. So far this season he’s been the Dodgers only sure thing on the mound as the rest of the rotation as struggled with consistency.

Everyone in the league knows that Kershaw is one of the best if not the best pitchers in all of baseball and the month of May continued to prove that point.

The Dodgers will play host to the Atlanta Braves tonight at Dodgers stadium. Kenta Maeda will take the mound against Julio Teheran.
