克蕭季後賽挨轟次數史上第2高 防禦率更寫下最慘紀錄
道奇王牌克蕭(Clayton Kershaw)因背部痙孿傷勢,直到國冠G4才掛帥先發,但他卻再次出現「季後賽軟手」的老症頭,於6上被勇士安打串聯打退場,也成爲此戰的分水嶺。克蕭生涯季後賽防禦率4.31,是季後賽史上至少投100局投手中的最差成績。
克蕭在國冠G4主投5局被敲7安、失掉4分吞敗,但其實他在此戰前5局表現優異,僅在4上被歐祖納(Marcell Ozuna)敲出一發陽春砲。但比賽來到6上卻風雲變色,克蕭被連續敲出3支安打掉3分退場,也一舉引爆勇士6分大局,最終讓道奇陷入系列賽1勝3敗的絕對劣勢中。

克蕭在6上被勇士打出超前安,也讓他與韋蘭德(Justin Verlander)並列2013年季後賽後,次多(3次)在6局或以後被對手逆轉的投手,而砸鍋最多次爲洋基終結者查普曼(Aroldis Chapman)的5次。
這位王牌左投在季後賽被全壘打機率高的驚人,他生涯共35次在季後賽亮相,就被敲出28支全壘打(史上第2多),每場平均就會挨0.8支全壘打,比他例行賽平均挨0.51轟還要高上不少。此外,克蕭生涯季後賽投了177.1局、防禦率爲4.31,爲季後賽史上至少投100局投手中的最差成績。
