Kershaw retires the first 12 Rockies in order and takes a no-hitter into the sixth inning, but he leaves the game after only six innings and 79 pitches. J.D. Martinez hits two home runs to give him…
DENVER — Coors Field is perfectly suited for the kind of milestone J.D. Martinez was chasing – not so much for the kind of history Clayton Kershaw teased.
Home run No. 299 came in the third inning off of Rockies starter Connor Seabold with one out and a runner on. Martinez drove a 1-and-1 fastball over the high wall in right field. It hadn’t gotten better recently either. Kershaw allowed 17 runs in 15 innings over three starts at Coors Field the past two seasons.
