Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw rebounded in his latest start on Tuesday against the Philadelphia Phillies. While the Dodgers ended up losing the game 6-2, Kershaw was strong as he allowed just one earned run over 4.2 innings pitched. The left-hander also gave up five hits and notched five strikeouts.
While Kershaw’s fastball pitches remained in the low-90s against the Phillies, Kershaw did show better command and was able to throw more curveballs in this game.
“He made an adjustment. You saw him throw more slider, more curveball, especially with two strikes. That is the version of Clayton Kershaw that is going to be able to help this team,” Dodgers Nation’s Doug McKain said on Dodgers Dugout Live Wednesday.
