Kershaw (1-1) took the loss Friday while allowing four runs in six innings on seven hits with two walks and four strikeouts against the Diamondbacks.
Kershaw gave up a run in the first and third and then allowed two homers in the sixth. The southpaw threw 58 of 91 pitches for strikes in a so-so effort at best. Kershaw will take a 3.75 ERA into a start that's scheduled for next week in San Francisco.
