‘Just bad pitching’: Kershaw pulled after six-run first inning in Dodgers’ playoff loss

• Ace suffers worst start of his 16-year career in 11-2 defeat
• Texas, Houston and Philadelphia win series openers

Texas, Houston, Philadelphia and Arizona are off to fast starts in their best-of-five Division Series.

In Los Angeles, Gabriel Moreno's three-run homer highlighted a six-run first inning for Arizona against Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, and the Diamondbacks rolled to an 11-2 victory in their NL Division Series opener. Corbin Carroll, Alek Thomas and Tommy Pham also homered for Arizona. Pham had four of the Diamondbacks' 13 hits.
