MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Clayton Kershaw took a perfect game through seven innings for the Los Angeles Dodgers in his season debut before being pulled, dominating the Minnesota Twins with 13 strikeouts in 21 batters during a 7-0 victory on Wednesday. Aaron Nola (1-1) allowed three earned runs on three hits in 3 1/3 innings. Fried (0-2) allowed three runs — two earned — and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings. Nick Lodolo (0-1) made his major league debut and allowed seven hits and five runs with three walks and four strikeouts in four innings. Jiménez departed in the fifth with a left ankle contusion, and second baseman Josh Harrison left after seven innings because of lower back stiffness.
