Saturday night’s game did not start or end well for the Dodgers, who saw left-hander Clayton Kershaw get roughed up for four runs and four hits in the first inning and relievers Michael Kopech, Evan Phillips and Joe Kelly give up four runs over the final three innings of a 9-8, 10-inning loss to the Tampa Bay Rays in Chavez Ravine.
The Rays tied the score 7-7 in the top of the ninth on Junior Caminero’s leadoff home run to center field off Phillips, who had recovered from a rocky July to allow no earned runs in 8 u2153 innings of his first 10 August games.
