From Rotoworld: Kershaw pitched his first complete game of the season on Sunday, striking out 13 over nine innings of two-run baseball in a victory over the Royals. Kershaw surrendered just six hits on the afternoon and didn’t walk a batter. The only blemish on his day came in the form of a two-run homer off the bat of Eric Hosmer in the fourth inning. The All-Star southpaw heads into the break with a fantastic 14-2 record, 2.18 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 159/22 K/BB ratio over 132 1/3 innings.
White Sox activated Gonzalez from the 10-day disabled list. Gonzalez struggled in a couple rehab starts with Double-A Birmingham, but his shoulder issue appears to be behind him. He’ll re-enter the rotation in place of the departed Jose Quintana.

On the other side, the over is 4-0 in Kershaw’s last four starts versus a team with a losing record and 4-1 in their last five interleague road games.
