Clayton Kershaw's afternoon came to an early end on Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs.
The Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander lasted just one inning, allowing four earned runs on four hits with two walks.
The outing was the shortest start of Kershaw's career.
Kershaw gave up a bases-clearing double to David Bote before escaping the inning three batters later.
