Ty Blach and Clayton Kershaw have faced each other twice in a season that has consisted of 8 games. That's a lot to ask of a youngster - Ty might still be a rookie if not for his time filling in for Madison Bumgarner last year. In 2 games, here is how things stack up:
Ty Blach: 11 IP (6 today), 7 hits, 1 run, 6 BB, 1 - 0.
C. Kershaw: 13 IP (7 today), 14 hits, 2 runs, 2 BB, 0 - 1. Kershaw has a bunch more strikeouts.
That's pretty good pitching from Ty considering his opponent.
