As it turned out, Clayton Kershaw did continue his streak of Opening Day starts for the Dodgers. It just happened to be for the Oklahoma City Dodgers as opposed to the team in Los Angeles.
Thursday at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark, Kershaw threw his first non-Spring Training game of the season. He was slated to go four innings, 60 pitches. That’s just about what he did, going 4 1/3 innings and 61 pitches. Clayton allowed four hits, including a solo home run, two walks, two runs overall, and struck out six.
“It was a good first step,” Kershaw said.
