Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw was hung with a series-ending loss Tuesday, giving up three earned runs on four hits and two walks in six-plus innings while striking out nine in his team's 3-2 Game 4 defeat against the Cardinals, sending the Dodgers home with a 3-1 loss in the NLDS.
Kershaw (0-2) pitched six excellent innings and brought a 2-0 lead into the seventh. However, the Cardinals collected two quick singles before Matt Adams launched the Los Angeles starter's 102nd pitch over the right-field fence. It was a bittersweet end to a Cy Young-caliber season for Kershaw.
