Clayton Kershaw's Nightmare Start: D-backs Dominate Dodgers in NLDS Game 1

Clayton Kershaw had a nightmare start in Game 1 of the NLDS, allowing six runs and getting chased from the game after just one out. Kershaw, who has been dealing with a shoulder injury, struggled from the beginning, giving up hits to each of the first five batters he faced. The Dodgers lost 11-2 to the Diamondbacks, putting them in a precarious position in the best-of-5 series. Kershaw's performance raises questions about his future and whether this could be his last postseason start. Merrill Kelly pitched 6⅓ scoreless innings for Arizona, while the Dodgers managed only four hits all night.
