The Suns padded their league lead to four games with a 3-2 win over Carolina.  Clayton Kershaw, as expected, had a tough time with his big jump all the way to Double A but he put together a worthy start none the less.  He gave up two runs on three hits and four walks with four strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings.  It’s nice to see them testing the left hander this early with some talent that should be over his head.
