There is a reason Kershaw had to come out of the game after 6 innings.
He pitched fine but he couldn't go deep because is only on three days rest.
I think there is a reason teams do so poorly in the post-season when they start a guy on three days rest.
A rested Kershaw would still be in the game and LA wouldn't be behind right now.
Nothing will change my mind that Mattingly did the Braves a favor.
