The Los Angeles Dodgers prevailed 10-6 over the San Francisco Giants in a game that took several twists and saw plenty of drama. With the win, the Dodgers extended their franchise record to six consecutive seasons with a postseason berth and will at minimum play in the National League Wild Card Game.
While a vintage Clayton Kershaw performance was expected by many, the three-time Cy Young Award winner hardly looked his usual self. Other than a go-ahead two-run single in the fourth inning, Kershaw had an afternoon to forget.
He twice blew multi-run leads and the five runs allowed were the most in any start against the Giants.
