The Los Angeles Dodgers lost for the first time in a Clayton Kershaw start since last season, but appeared to have good fortune on their side with Corey Seager and Chris Taylor likely avoiding injury.
Taylor had his feet go out from under him as he attempted to chase down a foul ball down the left-field line. He had a read on it but lost his balance as the bullpen mound became a factor, which later led to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts having some criticism of the layout at Oracle Park.
Disaster nearly struck again in the seventh inning as Seager legged out an infield single.
