The Dodgers and Diamondbacks are kicking off a 3-game series starting tonight in Los Angeles. They’ll be looking to at least keep pace but hopefully gain ground on the Giants who lead by 2.5 games in the west. They’ll need some help from San Diego tonight as they take on San Francisco.
But the Dodgers get a familiar face back on the mound for this one tonight. Clayton Kershaw hit the injured list before the All-Star break with an elbow issue and has yet to pitch since then. He did throw in one rehab game last week before getting the all-clear from the medical staff.
