(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Choi In-young = KBO League’s best player (MVP) Josh Lindblom (Milwaukee Brewers), who won Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw (Los Angeles Dodgers), won the match.

Lindblom started off against the Dodgers in the 2021 American Professional Baseball Major League (MLB) demonstration game held at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, USA on the 17th (Korean time) and fought with 3⅔ innings, 2 hits, 3 walks, 4 strikeouts, and no runs out.

Lindblom, who led the 7-2 victory, won his first demonstration game this year (two losses).

Lindblom, who won the KBO League regular league MVP in 2019 under the Doosan Bears, re-entered the major leagues by signing Milwaukee that year. Lindblom, who made his fourth appearance in this year’s demonstration game, is recording an ERA of 4.66.

The pitcher who had a starting confrontation with Lindblom on the day is the Dodgers left-hander ace Clayton Kershaw, who received the National League Cy Video in 2011, 2013 and 2014.

Kershaw collapsed with 8 hits in 4 innings (2 home runs), 1 walk, 3 strikeouts, and 5 runs and lost. By this day, Kershaw’s average ERA in three games soared to 6.00.

At the start of the first inning, Kershaw was struck by Colton Wong and Lewis Urias in a row.

At the end of the first inning, Lindblom walked and hits Muki Betz and Cory Seeger, respectively, but he passed the crisis by treating Justin Turner as a floating ball and Max Munsey as a bottle stroke.

Kershaw made a triple inning in the beginning of the second inning, but he shook again and gave three more points, such as hitting three consecutive hits in the third inning.

Lindblom was replaced by Rio Crawford after striking out two at the end of the 3rd inning at the first and second bases.

Lindblom, who appeared again at the end of the 4th in accordance with the special rules of the major league demonstration games, ended the inning with a triple strikeout, including two strikeouts.

Kershaw handed the mound over to Trevor Bower in the fifth inning.

Last year’s National League Cy Young Award winner Bower struck out seven in the remaining five innings, but allowed two solo shooters to score two runs.

Lindblom was replaced by Josh Hader at the end of the fifth inning.

The Milwaukee bullpen blocked the Dodgers hitting line until the end of the seventh inning, with Hater keeping one inning with two strikeouts and zero runs. At the end of the 8th inning, he gave 2 points.
