Eric Hartline / USA TODAY Sports
Clayton Kershaw crossed another first off his career list Monday, though it's unlikely he'll remember this one fondly.
The Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander surrendered a grand slam to Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Aaron Altherr in the sixth inning. It was the first grand slam the 29-year-old has allowed in his 10-year career, coming in his 288th regular-season start.
