Dodgers @ Diamondbacks May 1, 2018: Good riddance, April

Clayton Kershaw gets the ball for the Dodgers looking to bounce back from perhaps the most troubling start of the season. On April 25, Kershaw faced the Miami Marlins, a team that sold their three great outfielders for pennies and are actively trying to lose baseball games. Kershaw needed a season-high 112 pitches to complete a season-low five innings, and he walked six batters (he walked 11 batters in 2016). He was an out away from completing five shutout innings, but walked two batters and surrendered a three-run home run to literally Miguel Rojas before getting a strikeout to end the inning.
