It’s show time! The Dodgers (19-13) are in San Diego to face the Padres (17-15) for the first of 13 head to head games this season. NL Pitcher of the Month Clayton Kershaw (5-1, 1.89 ERA) takes the ball for LA against Yu Darvish (1-2, 3.60 ERA) and the Pads. The Dodgers are riding a season-high 6 game win streak and hold a 1.5 game lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks and 2 game lead over the Padres in the NL West.
Here’s a look at the lineup Dave Roberts is sending out to face the 5-time All-Star.
Kershaw gets LA’s best possible defense behind him with Miguel Rojas starting at shortstop, Jason Heyward in center, and James Outman in left field.
