A look at what’s happening all around the majors Thursday:
KERSHAW DAY
The Los Angeles Dodgers send Clayton Kershaw to the mound for the finale of their four-game Freeway Series against the rival Angels. Kershaw is 7-0 with a 2.38 ERA in his last 10 starts. The three-time NL Cy Young Award winner is 5-2 with a 2.69 ERA in nine career starts against the Angels. He will be opposed by JC Ramirez, who pitched six effective innings in a win at Boston in his previous start on Saturday.
SLIDING ROCKIES
The Colorado Rockies get a sorely needed day off before beginning a weekend series at surging Arizona.
