It’s not often that you will hear Clayton Kershaw joke around on days that he pitches. In fact, most Dodgers players will tell you that they avoid him at all costs on days where he takes the ball. As fun as he can be in the dugout on his off days, Kersh is all business on the mound.
But when you strike out 13 Cubs batters and allow just 1 run across 8 innings of work, it’s a little easier to crack a smile. That’s what happened for the Dodgers hurler on Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles.
