Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw is looking to become the latest pitcher to win a Cy Young award while playing for a losing team. Of the 100 Cy Young awards that have been awarded, only 14 have gone to pitchers that play for a team with a losing record. However, there has been one in each of the last two seasons -- Felix Hernandez with Seattle (61-101) last year and Zack Greinke with Kansas City (65-97) in 2009. "The Cy Young is not based on value to the team, it's based on numbers," said Dodgers manager Don Mattingly. "Kersh will end up with as many wins [as candidates playing for contenders] and [he] plays on a team without as many wins. It should be harder for him." Kershaw, 23, has exceed expectations early in his career. "I have expectations for myself and I don't worry about the expectations of others," he said. "I expect to do well, to have a better start than the time before. If I look too long-term, it can get overwhelming, so I focus on the next start. "It's flattering that people talk about what you've done or what you can do, but I'm not trying to please other people or meet other people's expectations of me. I just try to be a good teammate and try to win my start every five days."
