Joe Torre said in Sporting News:

I had guys warming up ... I have to make a decision whether I want Elbert to pitch to (Chase Utley and Howard) or Kershaw. He's a starting pitcher in Game 1, so I felt that's what I wanted to do. He had a rough inning. It looked like he tried to over throw the ball. It looked like he got frustrated. He's going to battle every pitch but unfortunately, it got away from him quickly.
