Making his third start of the season, Kershaw gives up one run and five hits in 4⅔ encouraging innings before Graterol strains a hamstring eight pitches into his season debut in a 6-2 defeat.
Dodgers relief pitcher Brusdar Graterol, center, shows his frustration as he is helped off the field by teammate Kike Hernández, left, and a member of the training staff during the sixth inning of their game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium. Graterol, who the team said suffered a strained right hamstring, was just eight pitches into his season debut after missing the first half of the season with right shoulder inflammation.
Also gone is the Dodgers’ modest three-game winning streak that felt like so much more in the wake of five loses in six games. In an 81-pitch outing, Kershaw gave up five hits in 4⅔ innings with no walks and five total strikeouts. It was a far cry from his outing last week at San Diego when he gave up seven runs over 3⅔ innings.Dodgers’ Will Smith ‘scuffling’ through slump that feels familiar
