Hiroki Kuroda's first start of the postseason for Los Angeles was a bitterly brief one.
Two singles, a double, a triple, a home run. Philadelphia hit for the team cycle only eight batters into Game 3 of the NL championships series, battering Kuroda on Sunday night and sending him to the dugout after only recording four outs.
Manager Joe Torre's gamble on Kuroda badly backfired in an 11-0 loss.
