Every Kershaw day recap needs to start with Clayton Kershaw. Kersh has struggled in his career at Chase Field, with a 3.90 ERA in 11 career starts in the desert. Mind you, that’s not an awful number, but by Kershaw standards it’s roughly equivalent to a 60.00 ERA for a human pitcher. I think I did the math right.
Kershaw made a mistake to Rickie Weeks in the second inning, and Weeks hit it a long way into the left field bleachers to put the Dodgers down 1-0. Weeks got the second DBack hit of the game against Kershaw with a double to right, but Kershaw stranded him there.
