The left-hander finishes a stellar April with seven shutout innings in a victory over the Cardinals.
LOS ANGELES ― The Dodgers turned back the clock by welcoming several alumni Saturday night to commemorate theClayton Kershaw then turned back the clock against the St. Louis Cardinals, something he’s turning into a regular occurrence in his 16th major league season.
Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes and manager Dave Roberts both praised the consistency of Kershaw’s delivery, which has allowed him to maintain deception and overcome the relatively average velocity of his fastball and slider through the season’s first month. St. Louis entered the weekend with a .321 batting average against left-handed pitchers, easily the highest in MLB.
The inning began when James Outman singled, stole second base, and went to third on a wild pitch. Barnes’ fourth hit of the season, a line-drive single, came on a first-pitch fastball from Jordan Montgomery . Roberts had Phillips warm up after Goldschmidt’s single in the seventh inning, in case Kershaw needed help finishing the inning in a high-leverage situation. But Kershaw came back to retire Nolan Arenado, Willson Contreras and Carlson on a total of 10 pitches. He threw just 88 pitches in all, 68 for strikes.“The stuff started to tick down a little bit,” Roberts said. “The last few starts, we’ve ridden him. There’s a long way to go, and regardless of the outcome it’s the right decision.
