Not a fan of this decision by Mattingly..I would have saved him to game 5, if needed..
Kershaw will be pitching on three days of rest for the first time in his career following a dominating seven innings and 12 strikeouts in Thursday night's 6-1 win over the Braves in Atlanta. He threw 124 pitches in that game, then cut back slightly on his bullpen session Saturday to preserve his arm and give manager Don Mattingly the option to pitch him in a Game 4, which is a possible series clinching game with the Dodgers leading the series two games to one.
