Any hope that the Dodgers would support their pitching with great fundamentals and an underrated offense took an early uppercut to the jaw on Opening Day, 2011.But any fear that Clayton Kershaw wasn't up to carrying the responsibility of team leader on his shoulders was KOed.In the latest of his coming-of-age performances, Kershaw shut out the Giants for seven innings, striking out nine, and the Dodgers knocked the Giants off their Opening Day beanstalk, 2-1.Kershaw struck out four in the first two innings, eight in the first four innings. He didn't fret when he went 3-0 for the only time of the night to Pat Burrell, nabbing him two pitches later on a flyout, nor did he get shy after Aubrey Huff hit the night's biggest shot, a fly ball to the wall in right field in the fourth.
