Clayton Kershaw performed well for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night, halting a four-game losing streak. At 37 years old, he pitched six innings, allowing one run and two hits against the San Diego Padres. Manager Dave Roberts praised Kershaw's intensity and focus, noting his influence on the team's performance. Kershaw expressed a sense of routine in treating every game similarly, but acknowledged the importance of the victory given the team's recent struggles. He aims to maintain his role as a dependable starter as the team’s rotation improves in health.
"There's just no one more intense or focused than Clayton. He has a way of elevating people's focus and play. And so to have him tonight, first game of this series, he's the perfect guy."
"I mean, I think when you've done this as long as we have, it's August now, you try and treat every day the same, and then hopefully the situation just helps magnify everything."
"It's just what you're supposed to do. As a starter, you're supposed pitch well, and when it's your turn, step up. And our rotation is getting healthier, and we got a lot of guys that can throw the ball really well, so I just want to do my part."
