Kershaw exits after 4 shaky innings in rusty season debut for Dodgers

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Clayton Kershaw looked rusty during his first major league outing in nearly nine months.

The three-time Cy Young Award winner lasted four innings Saturday night for the Los Angeles Dodgers, allowing five runs and five hits in a no-decision against the Los Angeles Angels. He walked three, struck out two and threw 48 of 83 pitches for strikes before the Angels pulled out an 11-9 victory.

The club’s career strikeout leader needs 30 to reach 3,000 in his illustrious career.
