Padilla would jump ahead of Game 1 starter Clayton Kershaw if Torre makes the move.

Our View: Padilla would be on regular rest thanks to an extra off-day, and he has been the team's best pitcher so far in the postseason. Torre hasn't made a decision yet, but we will let you know when he does.

Clayton Kershaw’s New Toy At an age when most young hurlers are hopping a Greyhound bus from Inland Empire to Rancho Cucamonga, Clayton Kershaw is starting pivotal playoff games for a Dodgers club seeking its first World Series title since, well, Clayton was born.

The visiting Phillies tagged the lefty for five runs in a bad fifth inning Thursday, when he set a LCS record for most wild pitches in an inning with three. He also tied the record for most wild pitches in a LCS game, shared by Tommy John and Juan Guzman. Kershaw allowed five runs on four hits in 4 2/3 innings and walked five in his second postseason start. "It looked like he tried to overthrow the ball, got frustrated out there. Unfortunately, it got away from him quickly," Dodgers manager Joe Torre said. "As far as the pressure of the game, he certainly can handle it, but sometimes things get away from you."

The breathtakingly talented lefty struggled with his control, walking five batters in just 4.2 innings, leading to five Philadelphia runs, as the Phillies took game one of the NLCS 8-6 in Los Angeles.

Our View: Kershaw struggled with his control all season, so it's no surprise that he struggled with it on Thursday night. He's going to have to be markedly better in his second start of the series (if he gets one) for L.A. to have any shot at winning.
