Limited again in loss Kershaw (10-8) took the loss in Saturday's 7-2 defeat at the hands of the Diamondbacks, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk with three strikeouts in 4.1 inning...
Impact Making his third start since returning from injury, Kershaw was knocked around early and often with a single run in each of the first, second, fourth and fifth innings. While it's encouraging to see the 2014 NL MVP ramping up his workload in preparation for the postseason, the outing was Kershaw's worst of his last eight appearances. He's currently scheduled to make one more start next Friday, though that could change depending on Los Angeles' playoff scenario.
