It’s time for the second game in the three-game series between the San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the mission remains the same: Beat LA.
It’s a serious battle of aces by the water. For the Giants, it’s righty Logan Webb, who takes advantage of the off-day to move up a slot and make his MLB-best 31st start of the year. Webb, in line for Cy Young votes for the fourth straight season, is 14-9 with a 3.12 ERA, a 2.64 FIP, and 201 strikeouts against 41 walks in a league-leading 184.2 innings. In has last start, he allowed one earned run in six innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
On the other side is the ageless southpaw Clayton Kershaw, who makes his 20th start in his 18th season. He’s gone 10-2 with a 3.27 ERA, a 3.52 FIP, and 69 strikeouts against 26 walks in 99
