Kershaw Makes Stunning Behind-The-Back Snag

OAKLAND (CBSLA.com) — Clayton Kershaw made a ridiculous play in the second inning of the Dodgers' series opener against the Oakland A's on Tuesday.

When Oakland's Eric Sogard hit a fast chopper back towards the mound, Kershaw instantly spun to his right, throwing his glove hand out and making a beautiful backhand snag.

The display earned audible admiration from the Oakland crowd, as well as broadcasters.

Kershaw quickly tossed the ball to first baseman Adrian Gonzalez to end the inning.
