He needed five to get Jedd Gyorko looking. “I felt really good about it.”. “I felt really good with Clayton at that point in time.”. He and Roberts credited the return of that pitch’s snappiness as the main factor in Kershaw’s dominant performance in the Dodgers’ wild-card series-clinching 3-0 victory over Milwaukee. Will Smith homering off Will Smith, Astros rekindle memories of '04 Red Sox in ALCS, 'Dangerous' Seager hits 2 HRs, L.A. stays alive, Braves' Minter K's 7 in 3 innings in starting debut, Ex-Angels employee indicted in Skaggs' OD death, MLB players extend COVID-free streak to 47 days, Braves rookie outduels Kershaw as L.A. on brink, Could the 2020 Astros join the 2004 Red Sox on Saturday? It was a young arm’s slider. Roberts doesn't have as much freedom to use Urias and May out of the bullpen as he used to, but he hasn't ruled out that possibility. “I just didn’t feel like I had the arm speed to create the [late] movement.” Years ago he would have responded by trudging through the same post-start routine he completed after every outing, whether he’d thrown five innings or eight, whether his stuff had felt snappy or lazy. Terms of Use If he doesn't, does that mean he has to dip into a layer of his bullpen he'd prefer to avoid in medium- to high-leverage spots? David Schoenfield: I wouldn't expect him to go especially deep tonight when he hasn't pitched in a game since Sept. 26, especially with the Dodgers carrying 15 pitchers. By the end of it, Kershaw’s career playoff ERA had grown to 4.31 ERA with an 11-12 record in 35 games. Kershaw, a longtime L.A. homeowner in his 13th season with the club, was allowed to sleep in his own bed and do everything else that married fathers of three kids under six do. The last time we saw the Dodgers try it with Kershaw was when he went in Game 1 of the 2018 World Series against the Red Sox, three days after throwing two innings of relief in the NLCS clincher over Milwaukee. Coming off an eight-inning, two-hit gem against the Cardinals, the red-bearded Brewers starter struck out eight Dodgers through four innings–although without Kershaw’s Swiss-watch efficiency. In fact, you’d be forgiven if you glanced at your calendar in the middle innings just to make sure it didn’t read October 2009, when the 21-year-old Kershaw spun a 10-strikeout gem against the Rockies, or October 2013, when the 25-year-old capped his second Cy Young season with an opening round, 12-strikeout performance against the Braves.

If the spasms were to clear up quickly and Kershaw was able to start in Game 3, which the Dodgers have ruled out, then it would have been theoretically possible he could go in Game 7 on short rest. “I just thought Kershaw was throwing the baseball really well, and there was no reason,” Roberts told reporters when asked about not going to his bullpen earlier. Was May to be a permanent part of the pen in this series? Of utmost importance now is that Gonsolin, Urias and May -- all young and relatively inexperienced -- pitch deep into games if/when they are deployed as starters. Kershaw still doesn't have one despite the club record in playoff starts (28) and innings (177 1/3). Remember, Roberts used him as an opener in the Padres series, having him throw just one inning, with Urias coming in as the bulk guy. We asked ESPN MLB experts Alden Gonzalez, Bradford Doolittle and David Schoenfield to weigh in. MLB Playoffs 2020: TV Schedule, Top Player Comments, Highlights and Stats ... Atlanta busted open its Game 4 advantage with a six-run sixth inning that chased Clayton Kershaw … Schoenfield: Yeah, the unknown here is what the Dodgers' plans were with May entering the series. Boston shelled him.
