SAN DIEGO — The windup looks the same, his arms stretching toward the sky and one leg paused in mid-air before delivery. The stuff coming out does not.
In his second start since returning from shoulder surgery, Clayton Kershaw was roughed up by the San Diego Padres for seven runs and failed to get through four innings in an 8-1 loss for the Dodgers on Wednesday night.
“Not very good,” Kershaw said afterward. “Just not a lot went well at all. Just got to pitch better.”
The same could apply to the Dodgers as a whole.
