Kershaw Close to Perfection, Wednesday Scores

Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw was pulled after pitching seven perfect innings against the Minnesota Twins Wednesday in a game LA went on to win 7-0.

Manager Dave Roberts pulled Kershaw in his first start of the season after 80 pitches to boos from Dodgers fans in Minneapolis when Alex Vesia took the mound in the eighth inning, and online uproar that Kershaw wasn't allowed to try for a perfect game, but Kershaw said he agreed with the decision, saying, "Those are selfish goals. We're trying to win."
