Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, who is preparing for Sunday’s game against the Rams, grew up and was high school teammates with Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw.
So Stafford was an interested observer Tuesday night when Kershaw pitched against the Washington Nationals in Game 4 of the National League Division Series.
The Dodgers led, 5-2, when Kershaw left with the bases loaded in the seventh inning. All three Washington runners ended up scoring to tie the game, but the Dodgers came back for a 6-5 win.
