"Kershaw earned his tenth win of the season his last time out against the Orioles, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk over 5.2 innings with a season-high eight strikeouts. It was his sixth win in his last seven starts, and the 13th time in his career that he's reached double-digit wins. He's still rarely touching 90 mph with the fastball, but the diminished velocity hasn't impacted his ability to effectively get outs."
"Webb allowed one earned run on five hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over six innings his last time out against the Diamondbacks. He notched his fourth win in his last five starts, totaling 14 on the year, nearing his career high of 15 from the 2022 season. Webb will be leading baseball in innings after this start, and he's one of just five pitchers with over 200 strikeouts thus far."
"The Dodgers will run out the same lineup as last night with one minor change, being Miguel Rojas starting at second base over Tommy Edman. The Dodgers had 10 hard-hit balls (95+ mph) last night compared to San Francisco's 5, but despite the loud contact, they managed just four hits in ten innings. They'll look to plate more than one run tonight against the Giants' ace."
The Dodgers lost the series opener 5-1 on a Patrick Bailey walk-off grand slam after facing an excellent Yoshinobu Yamamoto and providing limited offense. Clayton Kershaw will start today, bringing recent strong form including his tenth win, a 5.2-inning outing with eight strikeouts, and a career-long dominance in San Francisco reflected by a 1.69 ERA there. The Dodgers' lineup returns mostly intact with Miguel Rojas at second. Los Angeles recorded 10 hard-hit balls but only four hits in ten innings. Giants' Logan Webb allowed one earned run over six innings in his last start, totaling 14 wins and over 200 strikeouts.
