– Clayton Kershaw pitched six solid innings and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Tampa Bay Rays 8-3 in Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday in Texas. Cody Bellinger hit a two-run homer and Mookie Betts added a solo shot for the Dodgers, who are now 3-1 in World Series openers. Tampa’s Kevin Kiermaier hit a solo homer in the fifth, but Kershaw retired 13 in a row until the seventh, when the Rays scored two runs. Tampa’s Tyler Glasnow, making his first World Series start, gave up six runs on three hits and six walks in 4 1/3 innings. “I felt a little weird in the beginning and I think I was just yanking off my (fastball),’ Glasnow said. “I made the adjustment and I think in the third inning I started to feel pretty good. As the game went on, I think I was getting a little rushed, going forward too quick. But too many walks and not executing enough.” Game 2 is Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
