Dodgers rookie Tony Gonsolin will be starting on Tuesday night in Game 2 of the NLCS instead of Clayton Kershaw (back).

The latest Clayton Kershaw playoff disaster is the most 2020 outcome that Dodgers fans could’ve ever imagined.

The ace was on the verge of being called on to save this spectacular 60-game season in Game 2 of the NLCS, following the bats being stymied by Max Fried’s curveball.
