text:  However , in his first start of the playoffs , in Game 1 of the Division Series against the Cardinals , <unk> became the first pitcher in history to strike out 10 while allowing eight runs . He had cruised through the first six innings while allowing only two hits ( both solo <unk> ) and surrendered six runs in the seventh . He did tie <unk> for the only Dodgers pitchers with multiple double digit strikeout games in the playoffs . He was also the first pitcher in history to give up at least seven runs in back @-@ to @-@ back postseason starts ( his previous one was Game 6 of the 2013 National League Championship Series ) . Pitching on short rest in Game 4 , he would again be dominant , but again would take the loss after giving up a 3 @-@ run home run to Matt Adams in the 7th inning . It was the first home run <unk> had allowed in his career to a left @-@ handed batter off his curveball .
