Last night, Clayton Kershaw took the mound for his 14th start of the season and although he tends to have bad luck at Coors Field, the Dodgers veteran refused to use it as the reason for the team’s 5-3 loss.

“I just don’t think about it. I just try to make pitches…I’m not going to let any ballpark dictate how I feel about how I pitch.
