The future Hall of Famer is shelled for six runs while getting just one out as Arizona rolls to an 11-2 rout in the opener of their National League Division Series.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts walks to the mound to remove starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw, right, during the first inning of Game 1 of their National League Division Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium. Kershaw was battered for six runs while getting just one out before being replaced.
• And a 419-foot three-run homer into the left field pavilion by catcher Gabriel Moreno, whose very availability was in doubt after he’d taken an inadvertent bat to the head Wednesday night in Milwaukee. For one thing, it’s only one loss, and while losses are magnified more in a best-of-five format this isn’t the edge of the cliff yet. If the Diamondbacks were to rough up Bobby Miller in Monday’s Game 2 as well,would be the edge of the cliff and the Dodgers would be looking down the barrel of elimination beginning Wednesday night in Phoenix.
He would be 36 on Opening Day 2024. He is ending his 16th season in the major leagues, and while the regular-season numbers were as brilliant as ever , the years have taken their toll. Those pitches that got into the 90s Saturday night? This was the first time he’d thrown that many at that velocity in more than a month. He has been physically compromised, no longer able to rear back and blow hitters away but instead reduced to guile, location and pitch selection.
Given Kershaw’s adaptation to make up for his physical limitations, it’s worth noting that when he was a rookie in 2008, designated for long relief in the postseason by then-manager Joe Torre, the other guy serving in that role was Greg Maddux, who was ending his 23-year career with the Dodgers and would go into the Hall of Fame with 355 victories thanks to his own mix of guile, location and pitch selection.
