Kershaw retires just one of the eight batters he faces while giving up six runs and the Dodgers fall, 11-2, one of the worst postseason losses in franchise history.
Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw wipes his face after giving up an RBI double to the Arizona Diamondbacks’ Evan Longoria during the first inning of Game 1 of their National League Division Series on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium. Kershaw allowed six runs in one-third of an inning before being removed.
He faced just eight batters. The first six all reached base and scored. He retired just one batter before Dodgers manager Dave Roberts mercifully pulled him from the game. Ketel Marte started Saturday’s beating with a rocket into the left-center field gap. James Outman got there but overran the ball, reached back and had it go off his glove for a double .
It was the first time in Kershaw’s career that he allowed more than five ‘hard-hit’ balls in any inning. The Diamondbacks showed no fear, swinging at 24 of the 25 strikes Kershaw managed in his 35-pitch night and averaging 105.2 mph in exit velocity when they put it in play.He is the first pitcher in postseason history to allow five runs and five hits before recording an out, according to ESPN Stats & Info.
While Kershaw making painful history, Diamondbacks starter Merrill Kelly reversed some personal history.
