It is widely known that Friday's game against the Brewers could have been Clayton Kershaw's last home game at Dodger Stadium. But the start went far from expected with the three-time Cy Young Award winner leaving the 8-6 win in the second inning due to forearm and elbow discomfort.
Kershaw was making his fourth start since returning from a nearly three-month layoff due to the forearm injury. But after making 42 pitches and giving up three runs in 1 2/3 innings, Kershaw left the field in "shock."
"Kinda the same thing I’ve been dealing with and [it] just got bad enough to where I couldn’t keep going tonight," Kershaw said after the game.
