J.D. Davis homers in loss — and admits to Mets’ scoreboard watching

J.D. Davis was one of few Mets to have success Friday night against Dodgers lefty Clayton Kershaw, but his first-inning home run was wasted in a 9-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Kershaw, the three-time National League Cy Young Award winner, improved to 10-0 with a 2.19 ERA in 15 career regular-season starts against the Mets with 6 ¹/u2083 innings of two-run ball.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Kershaw is the second pitcher in the past 50 years to win his first 10 regular season decisions against the Mets, joining Pedro Martinez (10-0 from 1993-97).
