Kershaw worked out for them this time, but generally speaking I'm not fond of him out of the bullpen. Without looking at his splits I feel like the first inning is always his worst inning. Out of the bullpen that's a scary proposition.
Edit: Just checked out the splits. The first inning is his worst inning in terms of ERA with only the 6th inning being close. Making a case that pulling good starters is dumb the 7th 8th and 9th innings his ERA is under 2.30 for all three. So much for not letting hitters see your starter a third time.
