Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw’s teammates expressed their appreciation for the veteran after he came into Wednesday’s game for his first relief appearance since 2019.
Kershaw threw a perfect inning in a tied game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, and helped the Dodgers on their way to a 5-4 extra-innings win.
“That was just so awesome seeing that, and what he did for us,” reliever Jack Dreyer said. “For somebody who obviously has been a starter his whole career, he showed that the situation does not matter. He just goes in whatever is asked of him, and just performs.
