# KBO Reverse Export Myth

Clayton Kershaw (Los Angeles Dodgers) won against Merrill Kelly (Arizona Diamondbacks). He tied for second place with the most wins in the Dodgers franchise.

The Dodgers won 9-1 against Arizona in the 2023 Major League at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California, on the 30th. The Dodgers are in first place in the National League West with 82 wins and 49 losses, and Arizona is in third place with 69 wins and 64 losses.

Kelly is a player who played for the SK Wyverns (currently SSG Landers) from the 2015 season to the 2018 season. He has been active in Arizona since the 2019 season and is writing the KBO League reverse export myth.

However, the Dodgers' batters succeeded in targeting Kelly from the beginning of the game. In the bottom of the first inning, leadoff hitter Mookie Betts hit and went out. Will Smith's hit came after Freddie Freeman stepped down with a fly ball to left field. Kelly induced Max Muncy to ground out to first base and caught Smith at second base, but David Peralta's one-run timely double and Jason Hayward's two-run timely double later exploded in a row.

The Dodgers added points in the second inning as well. Leadoff hitter Chris Taylor succeeded in stealing a base with a walk. It was followed by Miguel Rojas' one-run timely hit. In the third inning, Muncy's double and Peralta's one-run timely hit added the score. Hayward's double play came out, but James Outman hit and scored on Taylor's double.

Kelly made the first three-way inning of the game in the fourth inning, but was on the verge of a full base with no outs in the bottom of the fifth inning and allowed an RBI on a sacrifice fly to the outman. In the end, he failed to take the mound in the bottom of the sixth inning. He was sluggish with seven runs (7 earned runs) in five innings, 12 hits, three walks, and one strikeout.

Kershaw had a light shoulder with the help of the batters. After two outs in the top of the first inning, Tommy Farm and Christian Walker were allowed to walk, but they overcame the crisis by catching Lourdes Guriel Jr. with a fly ball to center field.

Kershaw faced a second crisis in the second inning. After handling Evan Longoria with a grounder to third base, he allowed a hit to Corbyn Carroll and a walk to Nick Ahmed. However, he did not lose a point by catching Gabriel Moreno with a double play.

Kershaw, who found stability, finished the third and fourth innings with three outs. In the top of the fifth inning, leadoff hitter Carol allowed a one-run home run, but struck out Ahmed and handled Moreno with a fly ball to right field. Later, Marte hit a hit and stepped on the second base with a wild pitch, but Kershaw struck out Buddy Kennedy and came down from the mound.

Kershaw had 79 pitches and 42 strikes in the fifth inning. From the sixth inning, the bullpen was in operation. Kershaw's performance in the game was one run (one earned run), three hits (one home run), three walks, and five strikeouts in five innings. Since then, the Dodgers have added two more runs in the sixth inning and have not lost any additional runs. Kershaw won his 12th victory this season.

This earned Kershaw 209 career wins. According to the Major League Baseball's official website "MLB," Kershaw tied for second place with Don Drysdale in the Dodgers franchise's most wins. "Don Sutton holds the record for the most wins and has 233 wins," he said. [스포츠중계](https://www.sportstototv.com)

After returning from a shoulder injury, Kershaw is showing good performance with 2 wins, 17 innings, 4 runs (four earned runs), 6 walks, 15 strikeouts, and a 2.12 WHIP (on-base percentage per inning) of 0.88.

"Kershaw, who has been absent for more than a month due to a left shoulder injury, is not expected to relax 100 percent," MLB said. "Nevertheless, his ability on the mound is effective." "His ability will be crucial when the Dodgers win the championship in October," he said.
