Kershaw ties a season-high with five walks and gives up two home runs while showing diminished velocity on his fastball. Ryan Yarbrough also gives up back-to-back homers in a 6-3 loss.
MIAMI — Whatever is going on inside Clayton Kershaw’s shoulder, it is clearly a compromised version of the future Hall of Famer taking the mound for the Dodgers now.
“It is what it is. Guys say that and I hate that answer. But it’s where he’s at. So it’s where he’s at. He’s able to make a start and that’s where he’s at. I can’t give it any more color. I really can’t.” The five walks tied his season-high and ran his recent total to 10 in his past 17 innings. And he has allowed six home runs in six starts since returning from the injured list.
Kershaw has gone exactly five innings in five of his six starts since returning from a six-week stay on the IL with his unspecified shoulder injury – and the other start was a rain-suspended game in Cleveland. Despite pitching with obviously diminished stuff, Kershaw has a 2.86 ERA in those six starts with six home runs doing all the damage.
