Let’s be honest. When the Miami Marlins play the Los Angeles Dodgers, it’s about the only time all year we have to admit that the best pitcher might play for the other team.
Such is the talent of Jose Fernandez, and such is the legend of Clayton Kershaw.
For five innings Tuesday night, this game seemed to be a foregone conclusion. Kershaw was dominant, allowing one hit while piling up 8 Ks, and even contributing an RBI double. The man’s a video game. On the other side, Tom Koehler was Koehler- competitive but hittable, surrendering three runs.
