White Sox Fall 6-1 To Kershaw, Dodgers
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Clayton Kershaw retired all six batters he faced in his spring debut, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Chicago White Sox, 6-1, on Thursday.
Kershaw struck out three, including White Sox slugger Jose Abreu looking on a slow curve.
"It felt good. The first one is just good to get out there and make sure you feel good physically," Kershaw said. "The results are obviously something that you look for, but maybe not the most important thing.
Kershaw, a three-time Cy Young Award winner at age 26, was 21-3 with a 1.77 ERA for the Dodgers last year when he also won the National League MVP.
Yasiel Puig, in his spring debut, drove in a run with a groundout off White Sox starter John Danks, who also went two innings. He gave up two hits.
