Clayton Kershaw is a three-time Cy Young award winner but for whatever reason he crumbles whenever the postseason comes around.
Tonight “Playoff Kershaw’ made an appearance when he blew a 3-1 lead by giving up back to back home runs in the eighth inning that allowed the Nationals to tie the game and force extra innings.

A photo of a dejected Kershaw in the dugout immediately got the meme treatment.
This picture is actually haunting. There’s a full-on tied elimination game going down and there isn’t another person in the vicinity of Clayton Kershaw.pic.twitter.com/VC7hruY9i6
