Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw was very angry with himself after giving up a 2-run homer to Texas Rangers rookie Joey Gallo in the third inning of Wednesday night's game at Dodger Stadium.
Gallo's monster 439-foot home run into the bleachers in right-center field gave the Rangers a 3-0 lead. Kershaw let loose as he returned to the dugout once the inning was over, slamming his glove and hat, along with a towel, as he was clearly frustrated with himself.
According to Big League Stew, Gallo now has five home runs in 50 at-bats, which is a pretty impressive start to his MLB career. Making it even more impressive, Gallo is one of only four left-handed batters to hit a home run off Kershaw in the last three seasons.
Kershaw continued on to work through six innings, finishing with 10 strikeouts, including two against Gallo. However, the Rangers came away with the 5-3 victory, with Kershaw earning the loss.
