Dodgers 5, White Sox 2: Justin Turner hit a tiebreaking two-run single and Clayton Kershaw matched a season high with nine strikeouts as host Los Angeles took advantage of two costly sixth-inning errors by Chicago to take the opener of the three-game interleague series.

Kershaw (4-2) yielded two runs on four hits and did not walk a batter over eight innings, retiring 10 of the final 11 batters he faced before Kenley Jansen worked around an infield single in the ninth for his 17th save. Adrian Gonzalez and Drew Butera each drove in a run for the Dodgers, who won for only the second time in their last six contests.

Jose Abreu returned from the disabled list to belt a two-run homer for the White Sox, who only managed four other hits – all singles, including two by Gordon Beckham. Jose Quintana (3-5) was tagged for five runs (all unearned) on six hits and two walks over six frames.

Kershaw gave up his first hit of the game in the fourth as Beckham delivered a one-out single and made his only mistake two pitches later, hanging an 0-1 slider that Abreu sent over the fence in left. Quintana did not allow a baserunner past first through five innings but ran into trouble in the sixth, when Kershaw led off with a single and Matt Kemp reached on a fielding error by second baseman Beckham.

Following a strikeout by Yasiel Puig for the second out of the inning, a poor throw to first by Chicago third baseman Conor Gillaspie enabled Kershaw to score, and Gonzalez knotted the game with an RBI infield single as his liner glanced off the glove of Quintana. Scott Van Slyke drew a walk and Turner followed with a blooper just over Beckham in shallow center before Butera capped the five-run frame with an RBI single.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Puig went 0-for-4 and did not draw a walk, ending his 33-game on-base streak – the longest active run in the majors. … The unearned runs charged to Quintana were the first such runs he has surrendered since giving up three in his season debut on April 3. … Kershaw improved to 2-0 with a 1.13 ERA in his last four interleague starts.
