Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw lasted just one inning after allowing six runs to the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 1 of the NLDS on Saturday.
ace Clayton Kershaw continued his near-career-long run of playoff miscues in Game 1 of the NLDS vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday.
Hoping to get his team off to a positive start at home, Kershaw ended the inning allowing six runs on top of a three-run homer, prompting manager Dave Roberts to pull the 35-year-old early. Arizona led 6-0 through the top of the first thanks to runs by Ketel Marte, Corbin Carroll, Tommy Pham, Christian Walker, Gabriel Moreno and Alek Thomas.Kershaw also became the first starting pitcher in MLB postseason history to allow five hits and five runs before recording an out, according to
But Emmet Sheehan didn't fare much better in the top of the second, allowing three runs as the Dodgers trailed 9-0. Here's how the MLB world reacted to Kershaw's opening playoff outing, who has endured rough October games before but not quite in this fashion:I have no words for Kershaw. That was incredibly hard to watch. Guy has to be heartbroken. I hope the boys can find a way to battle back. I believe they will.I left the U.S. for Denmark.
