MINNEAPOLIS — The last time Clayton Kershaw had pitched in a regular-season game, it seemed like his Dodgers tenure was coming to an imperfect end.
On Wednesday, his time with the club resumed with a resounding — and almost perfect — bang.
In his first start since re-signing with the Dodgers this winter, Kershaw pitched seven perfect innings before being taken out of the game. The Dodgers lost the combined perfect game bid an inning later, when Gary Sánchez singled against reliever Alex Vesia, but still went on to a 7-0 win against the Minnesota Twins.
