Timeless Kershaw flummoxes SF Giants one more time in loss to Dodgers

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:53:41 GMT

LOS ANGELES — Clayton Kershaw has faced the San Francisco Giants more than any other team, and on Saturday took the mound at Dodger Stadium, possibly for the final time. The 35-year-old future Hall of Famer’s status after this season is uncertain. He’s battled injuries. His fastball isn’t what it once was. He’s a different pitcher.But, in front of 52,704 on hand to watch him potentially one last time (at least in the regular season), the results were all too familiar for his longtime foes.Without so much as a fastball that registered 90 mph on the radar gun, Kershaw easily dispatched his flailing opponents, blanking the Giants for five innings while the Dodgers sent them to their seventh loss in 10 games on this road trip, 7-0. His hottest heater was clocked at 89.7 mph.Paired with the Cubs’ win earlier in the day, the Giants’ elimination number fell to four. They are three games back with seven to play, closer to falling into fourth place in the ...
