The Los Angeles Dodgers saw starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw leave before the fifth inning of Thursday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Kershaw was warming up and then pulled himself from the game. He did not wait for the team trainer or manager Dave Roberts to get the mound before doing so.
