Reigning MVPs Clayton Kershaw and Mike Trout squared off Saturday in the Freeway Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Los Angeles Angels, and this clash of the titans was heavily one-sided.

It's safe to say Kershaw bested Trout in Round 1 of the showdown, making the American League MVP look silly by dropping a filthy breaking ball for a called third strike in the first inning.

The Dodgers walked away with a 3-1 victory thanks to an amazing pitching performance from Kershaw, while Trout was left bewildered after going 0-for-4 on the afternoon.
