Kershaw did not factor into the decision in Saturday's loss to the Rays, allowing five runs on nine hits and two walks over five innings while striking out five.

Kershaw struggled right out of the gate, allowing five consecutive batters to reach with one out in the opening frame, which would lead to four runs coming across for Tampa Bay. The veteran lefty would then hold the Rays scoreless over the next three innings before surrendering another run in the fifth, coughing up a season-high five earned runs overall on the night. The nine hits were also the most he's allowed on the campaign, though he was still able to make it through five innings for the third consecutive outing. Kershaw now carries a 2.95 ERA in August to go along with an 18:5 K:BB.
