Clayton Kershaw, cheated by Astros, regains World Series edge

LA Times  

Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw delivers during an 8-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday. Kershaw dominated the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 1 of the World Series, just as he did the cheating Houston Astros in 2017. But I think that’s what I have to do.” There was a similar excitement after Kershaw shut down the Astros in his first-ever World Series start, a seven-inning masterpiece in which he struck out 11 and limited the Astros to a run. The performance became regrettably overlooked after Kershaw melted down in Game 5 of that series when he failed to protect leads of four and three runs at the Astros’ home stadium of Minute Maid Park.
