Saturday's two strikeouts give Kershaw 2,970 for his career. He is 30 strikeouts away from becoming 20th pitcher in the 3,000-strikeout club and only the fourth lefty, joining Hall of Famers Randy Johnson, Steve Carlton and CC Sabathia.

Logan O'Hoppe, Taylor Ward and Mathew Lugo homered and the Los Angeles Angels spoiled Clayton Kershaw's season debut, beating the Dodgers 11-9 on Saturday night to take the first two games of the three-game series.

Clayton Kershaw began his first start in eight months on a strong note. It got a bit worst after that. The longtime Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher made his season debut on Saturday after missing nearly two months rehabbing from multiple surgeries.
