Brewers Reliever Brandon Woodruff Bonked Off Clayton Kershaw
  • 6 years ago

Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff took over for Gio Gonzalez in the third inning of tonight’s NLCS opener, presumably to get through the Dodgers lineup a few times. He aced the third inning, and the promptly sent a Clayton Kershaw fastball 407 feet out to center field for a towering donger. This is only the third time a relief pitcher has ever hit a home run in the playoffs, and it’s also the first-ever home run a pitcher batting left handed had hit off a left handed pitcher.
