Rockies touch Kershaw for three home runs
Clayton Kershaw strikes out DJ LeMahieu swinging in the bottom of the 1st inningArenado's homer, his second, also was a one-of-a kind feat. It came on a 75 mph curveball, and was just the fourth on a Kershaw curve since Statcast™ began tracking in 2015. Arenado's was the hardest-hit (103.7 mph) and farthest projected distance (431 feet) on a homer on a Kershaw bender.
Reynolds continued his hot start -- and broke a 1-1 tie, with a homer to left field with Arenado on base courtesy of a bloop single. Parra followed with his first of the year. Kershaw (1-1), who was 10-0 in his previous 11 starts against the Rockies, gave up four runs on eight hits and struck out six in six innings.
