SAN FRANCISCO -- Just like there are a number of ways to get from the McCovey Cove to Fisherman's Wharf, there is no set route to becoming a top pitcher in the National League.
Clayton Kershaw and Johnny Cueto will take two distinct styles into Friday night's series opener at AT&T Park between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants. Call Kershaw the classic cable car over the hill. Cueto is a ride-share bike to the Muni to BART and maybe an Uber for the last few miles.
Two Dodgers players, preferring not to be quoted, explained it in a different way.
