Dodger Stadium’s National League scoreboard, along its right-field wall between digital and analog advertisements, is within Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts’ normal field of vision from his perch atop the home dugout.
So Roberts wasn’t saying much when he said Saturday that he would keep one eye on the score between San Diego and San Francisco while Clayton Kershaw faced Colorado directly in front of him.
The foreground and background presented diverging results. While San Francisco ran out to an early lead, then slowly ceded it to San Diego, Kershaw and the Dodgers ravaged the Rockies from the start in a 14-1 rout Saturday.
