The Dodgers and game one don’t seem to get along in the past two series of this postseason. In game one of the NLCS, the Dodgers lost to the Brewers behind sloppy defense and a less than stellar Clayton Kershaw. In game one of the World Series, the Dodgers were once again plagued by defensive miscues and a less than stellar Clayton Kershaw.
The bottom of the first inning the Dodgers’ miscues started from the start. Kershaw had Mookie Betts out but David Freese was unable to track down a fly ball in foul territory. Betts then singled and scored on a single by Andrew Benintendi after he stole second base.
