With two outs and Oakland Athletics third baseman Danny Valencia at the plate with a 1-2 count, Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw offered a fastball he thought would end the third inning.
But the pitch was too far outside.
Valencia got a piece of the ace’s next offering, sending Kershaw off the mound to try to field the ground ball headed toward third base—but he botched it. The ball bounced away from his glove a few times, and he couldn’t make the play at first.
Valencia got the hit, and frustration got the best of Kershaw.
The lefty slammed the ball on the ground and fired it into the dugout before returning to the mound.
He struck out the next batter, Josh Phegley, as the A’s held on to a 1-0 lead.
