Clayton Kershaw not pleased with Cardinals’ pregame jab at Dodgers

The Dodgers took the Sunday win behind Clayton Kershaw delivering a stout afternoon. But he wasn’t pleased with the Cardinals here.

The Los Angeles Dodgers shed a disappointing Saturday loss on Sunday. L.A. erased the memories of Nolan Arenado hitting a walk-off home run, winning 7-3 over the St. Louis Cardinals. However, Clayton Kershaw wasn’t pleased with one moment involving St. Louis.

The left-handed pitcher earned the start at Busch Stadium. One jab stuck with him throughout the game — which he shared postgame.

St. Louis tried to ruffle the feathers of Kershaw during the game. By showing a rather infamous moment in his career: The 2014 National League Divisional Series. The Cards showed clips of Matt Adams smacking a three-run home run from that series. Kershaw was the pitcher during that ’14 moment.

Kershaw blasted the Cards afterwards, sharing that via John Denton of MLB.com.

“I think it’s a little bush league,” Kershaw began. “But I don’t expect anything less from these guys. So, it’s no worries.”

Obviously the blast from the past didn’t help the Cards much. Kershaw and the Dodgers claimed the win to end the series.

Kershaw needed to follow Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivering an epic outing despite Saturday’s loss. Yamamoto fanned nine batters in six innings while hitting a previous mark held by Walker Buehler.
