MESA, Ariz. – It turns out that the most significant development in Friday's game from the Dodgers' perspective might not have been the scary one involving the best left-handed pitcher alive, but an intriguing one involving a 36-year-old left-hander scrambling hard to revive his career.Clayton Kershaw took a soft line drive to the face in and, aside from losing part of a tooth, he was fine. He eventually got back on his feet and continued a generally dominant five innings against an Oakland A's team with most of its regulars in the lineup.
