Kershaw (1-1) allowed four runs on eight hits across six innings in Saturday's loss to the Rockies. He struck out six.
Kershaw fell victim to the long ball in this one, allowing a solo home run in the first inning before allowing a pair of homers that accounted for three more runs in the sixth. He still consistently threw strikes and has not walked a batter while striking out 14 through 13 innings thus far. Given his excellence in his first start, Kershaw's struggles Saturday are likely nothing more than a speed bump in what should be another great season, which he will continue Thursday against the Cubs.
