Not wanting to risk injuring his aging ace, Manager Dave Roberts pulled Clayton Kershaw. He had thrown only 80 pitches. He was six outs away from pitching a perfect game. Kershaw, 34, was absolutely dominant in his first start of the season, striking out 13 Minnesota Twins over seven innings on a 38-degree day at Target Field in Minneapolis. Dave Roberts is the only manager in baseball history to pull a starter after seven perfect innings. And the funny part is HE HAS DONE IT TWICE -- Clayton Kershaw today, Rich Hill in 2016.
WHERE DO YOU STAND WITH THE DECISION TO PULL KERSHAW? Things get heated as we take sides!
