Dodgers Ace Clayton Kershaw certainly didn’t have his best stuff in Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

He lasted four innings, giving up seven hits and five unearned runs during that time. And sure, it’s important to point out that home-plate umpire Tim Timmons squeezed him. Neither Chris Sale nor Kershaw could buy a call on the corner, to save their lives, which definitely had an impact on their effectiveness. Plenty of bullpen action took place in the game as a result.<\/p>\n

As far as how Kershaw feels about the Game 1 loss, in putting it to rest ahead of Wednesday night’s game, he had an interesting quote on how the team plans to approach Game 2.<\/p>\n

Clayton Kershaw: "We won Game 1 last year and lost the series, so maybe we'll try it out this way, see if we can win one."<\/p>\n
