The NL West team&#8217;s two-game winning streak snapped as the Guardians came from behind for a 7-4 win to avoid a series sweep.<\/p>\n<p>Veteran ace Clayton Kershaw, who made his third start of the season in the series finale, provided a solid base for the reigning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/go\/mlb-world-series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">World Series<\/a> winners despite not being at his best.<\/p>\n<p>Kershaw went five innings deep, allowing a run over six hits and striking out three hitters. While the numbers point to a strong start, Kershaw admitted it wasn&#8217;t &#8220;good enough.&#8221; The three-time Cy Young winner regretted not providing enough cover for the bullpen that imploded late in the game.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p><template id=\"bets-today-poll\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"preview-card-holder bets-today-poll\">\n<p><span class=\"date\"\/> \u2022 <span class=\"time\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"march-madness-logo\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/march-madness-logo.png\" height=\"42\" width=\"99\" alt=\"march madness logo\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m fighting some stuff mechanically and different things,&#8221; Kershaw said, via SportsNet LA. &#8220;I was able to make a few pitches here and there to get through five, but obviously wasn&#8217;t pitching good enough to be able to stay in the game which makes the bullpen have to throw more innings.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Frustrating for sure, but I think at the same at the time there&#8217;s some progress still, more reps. Overall, to only give up 1-run and pitch that bad is a good thing.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Dodgers led 4-1 heading into the bottom of the seventh inning. However, Lou Trivino, Tanner Scott and Alex Vesia failed to contain the Guardians as the bullpen conceded six runs, five in the eighth inning, to surrender the game.<\/p>\n<h2>Dave Roberts acknowledged Clayton Kershaw&#8217;s gritty display<\/h2>\n<p>Dodgers manager Dave Roberts acknowledged that it wasn&#8217;t Clayton Kershaw&#8217;s best game but he felt the veteran ace did enough in his five innings to push the Dodgers close to win.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It wasn\u2019t his best stuff but he found a way to limit damage and compete out there,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cHe willed himself through five innings. I thought he got a little better in the last couple innings and did enough to help us win a game.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Kershaw&#8217;s three strikeouts in the game took him closer to a major MLB milestone. After Wednesday&#8217;s game, Kershaw is 26 strikeouts away from becoming the 20th pitcher with 3000 career strikeouts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/794250-1716392844-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Chaitanya Prakash&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nChaitanya Prakash is an editor who covers US Sports at Sportskeeda. His first brush with sportswriting was in 2012 when the greatest football manager of all time, Sir Alex Ferguson, bid farewell to the beautiful game.<\/p>\n<p>Although having started out professionally as a cricket writer in 2022, Chaitanya&#8217;s curiosity and indiscriminate interest in all sports in general eventually introduced him to America&#8217;s favorite pastime.<\/p>\n<p>While Chaitanya&#8217;s favorite player from the current crop is the dynamic Venezuelan Ronald Acuna Jr., his all-time favorite, however, is Pedro Martinez, for his self-belief and consistency. He also rates Jose Bautista&#8217;s iconic bat flip in 2015 as his favorite moment in baseball history.<\/p>\n<p>Chaitanya specializes in reporting on technical aspects of the game or analyzing patterns behind specific plays. He also likes pondering over players&#8217; self-assessments following the conclusion of a game as it helps him get an idea of how they think about the sport in general.<\/p>\n<p>When not cheering for his favorites across sports, Chaitanya likes being transported to the past through a good war documentary or a historical documentary in general.\n<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"author-know-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/author\/chaitanyaprakash2010-1\" aria-label=\"Author know more\">Know More<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tag-cloud\">\n<div class=\"tags-text\">\n<div class=\"scrollable-content-holder  article-padding\">\n<p class=\"article-p  \">Quick Links<\/p>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerLeft\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Left \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-left.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<nav id=\"pnProductNav\" class=\"pn-ProductNav\">\n<\/nav>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerRight\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Right \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-right.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p>More from Sportskeeda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Chaitanya Prakash<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/baseball\/news-clayton-kershaw-makes-feelings-known-dodgers-frustrating-loss-vs-guardians\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers fell to the Cleveland Guardians in the series finale on Wednesday at Progressive Field.
