ST. LOUIS >> After the last game Clayton Kershaw pitched for the Dodgers, he openly wondered if it would be his final game of the season. He had just been handed the worst defeat of his career, allowing eight runs in seven innings in Game 1 of the National League Division Series.Games 4 and 5 were no guarantee after the Dodgers lost the game 10-9, and "who knows if they even want me to pitch at this point," Kershaw said at the time.
