The Challenge of the week pits a Dodger’s Ace Clayton Kershaw versus the White Sox first baseman, Paul Konerko? It must be interleague play. Check out the details after the jump.

MLB 11 The Show’s Challenge of the Week #21 is an unlikely match-up of two stars, playing well! The Dodgers’ young ace (the most K’s over the last seven days) faces the White Sox’ first baseman (in the top 10 in home runs and RBI’s) .

The new challenge began this morning 5:30am Pacific Time and ends Monday, August 1st at 4:30am Pacific Time.
