Kershaw Pulled Amidst Perfect Game

Future Hall of Famer Kershaw does not blame manager Dave Roberts for taking him out

Clayton Kershaw, pitching in his first game of the season, was perfect through 7 innings, having thrown only 80 pitches against the Minnesota Twins. But that didn't stop Dodgers manager Dave Roberts from pulling Kershaw out of the game and handing the ball over to the bullpen. Kershaw doesn't blame Roberts for making the move, however, saying he didn't think he would get to 100 pitches anyway.
