PHOENIX — Over the course of 400 career starts, Clayton Kershaw was bound to develop a few bad trends. As has been the case in most of his 22 trips to Chase Field, Kershaw struggled in the desert in a 6-3 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. With the Dodgers leading 3-2 through five innings — thanks to a sacrifice fly from J.D. Martinez and solo home runs by James Outman and Chris Taylor — Kershaw gave up back-to-back blasts to lead off the sixth. “I did a lot of things I shouldn’t, especially when your team grinds and gives you the lead like that,” Kershaw said.
