Clayton Kershaw put together a rocky outing on Wednesday night in Los Angeles. The future Hall of Famer struggled to put away hitters, scattering 6 hits over 5 innings in the Dodgers’ loss.
After the game, he spoke about his outing and assessed where he thinks things went a little sideways. It turns out, his most famous pitch — that Cooperstown curveball — just wasn’t producing the usual results for him.
I think it was more the curveball. I think I bounced a few curveballs, and then when I did throw for a strike, Manny got the hit behind the count, which I usually don’t throw curveballs behind the count, and that was impressive.
