DENVER – For Clayton Kershaw, Coors Field has proven to be unsafe at any speed.
The veteran left-hander gave up hits with exit velocities ranging from 32.7 mph to 106.6 mph Saturday night, letting two early Dodgers leads get away in a 5-3 loss to the Colorado Rockies.
The effects of altitude on a baseball have been debated since the Rockies’ birth. Kershaw’s career stats provide one good barometer.
