MLB ROUNDUP: D-BACKS BLAST CLAYTON KERSHAW, DODGERS

USA TODAY Sports 

LOS ANGELES -- The Arizona Diamondbacks made a statement Saturday, using a six-run first inning against Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw to pave the way for an 11-2 road victory in Game 1 of the National League Division Series.

Gabriel Moreno hit a three-run home run in the first, while Corbin Carroll, Alek Thomas and Tommy Pham all went deep later in the game as the Diamondbacks got off to a dream start in an effort to advance to the NL Championship Series for the first time since 2007. Pham had four hits.

"The togetherness we're playing with, there are no selfish at-bats," said Carroll, who has two home runs in his first three playoff games. "I think it's just a collective mindset of everyone in the same space and it's paying off in a cool way so far."
