Clayton Kershaw really didn’t want opposing pitcher Tim Hudson to get a base hit in Wednesday night’s game.

After Hudson hit a comebacker toward the mound, Kershaw went above and beyond with a perfectly-timed snag. And he may have also saved two runs from scoring in the process, as there were runners on second and third after a balk.

Check out this behind-the-back beauty.

Kershaw has the National League Cy Young all but locked up, and he’s making a strong case for the MVP as well. After watching this great grab, maybe another Gold Glove is in his future.
