Looking back at the Giants who have taken Clayton Kershaw deep

The matchups between Clayton Kershaw and the Giants have been, with very few exceptions, comically one-sided.

Kershaw was supposed to make his 50th career appearance against the rival on Opening Day and he's coming up on two full season's worth of innings -- 342 1/3 so far -- thrown against the Giants, who have done a lot of work to bolster that Hall of Fame resume. Kershaw has a 1.74 ERA and 0.86 WHIP in those 49 appearances, 47 of which have been starts, and has allowed Giants hitters to put up an OPS of just .512.

It's been a dozen years of destruction, plain and simple, but every once in a while, he'll hang a curveball or throw a slider that didn't get enough depth.
