Clayton Kershaw lost for the first time since May, allowing the go-ahead run when Max Muncy misplayed a potential inning-ending double-play grounder in a 2-1 defeat to the San Francisco Giants on Saturday night that left the Los Angeles Dodgers one win shy of 100 going into their season finale.
Kershaw , a 35-year-old three-time Cy Young Award winner, had been 7-0 with a 1.96 ERA in 13 starts since a May 21 loss at St. Louis. Facing the Giants for the 59th time, he allowed a third-inning homer to Tyler Fitzgerald and gave up two runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings. With the score 1-1, Austin Slater walked leading off the sixth and advanced on a wild pitch. Luis Matos walked and Slater took third when Thairo Estrada grounded into a forceout.
With runners at the corners, Wilmer Flores hit a hard grounder to third only for Muncy to bobble the ball and not get off a throw. Muncy was charged with an error and Flores was credited with an RBI.NL West champion Los Angeles, preparing to host a Division Series opener on Oct. 7, is attempting to reach 100 wins for the third straight year following the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.
