DENVER — For five innings on Saturday night, Clayton Kershaw navigated both a last-place opponent, the high-altitude elements and a quickly elevated pitch count.
Despite giving up two unearned runs in the first inning, he had kept the Colorado Rockies quiet over the next four as the Los Angeles Dodgers took a lead at Coors Field.
In the bottom of the sixth, however, it look just seven pitches for his outing to come to a screeching end.
