Last week, the Giants took three of four from the Dodgers at AT&T Park in San Francisco, despite Los Angeles holding at least a two-run lead in each contest. Last night, the Dodgers roared back with five runs in the seventh inning and won, 5-2, taking two of three from Arizona. On Monday, the Dodgers travel to Atlanta and Tuesday begin a six-game road trip that features series against the Braves (3) and Rockies (3). The Dodgers went 6-3 against the Giants at Dodger Stadium in 2015 and have won four consecutive home games vs. San Francisco. Last year, Dodger relievers posted a 1.78 ERA (6 ER/30.1 IP) in eight games against the Giants at Dodger Stadium and did not allow a home run. In 2015, the Dodgers posted the best home winning percentage in Los Angeles history and the fifth-best mark in franchise history at .679 (55-26). The 55 home wins tied for the most in LA history along with the 1980 club (55-27). Los Angeles is opening the season with 13 consecutive games against divisional opponents after posting a .605 winning percentage against NL West clubs last year (46-30). The Dodgers are attempting to become the first team since the National League West began in 1969 to win four consecutive division titles. The only teams with three-in-a-row are the Dodgers (2013-15) and Braves (1991-93). ACE TO ACE: Dodger starters have combined to go 4-1 and rank among the Majors’ best in ERA (3 rd , 2.45 ERA, 17 ER/62.1 IP), opponents’ batting average (2 nd , .185, 41-for-222) and WHIP (2 nd , 0.88). Three-time Cy Young Award-winner Clayton Kershaw matches up against Giants’ ace Madison Bumgarner for the second time this season, following the Dodgers’ extra-inning victory last Saturday in which both starters received a no- decision. According to ESPN Stats and Information, this matchup is the most common in baseball (six times) since the start of last season and this will be their ninth battle overall. In their previous eight matchups, Kershaw has posted a 2.14 ERA, but is just 2-4 and the Giants have won five of the eight contests. According to Elias, the Kershaw-Bumgarner matchup is the most prolific in the Dodgers-Giants’ series since Doug Rau and Jim Barr hooked up nine times from 1973-78. Kershaw has posted a 1.57 ERA (41 ER/235.1 IP) in his career against the Giants which, according to STATS, LLC, is the third-lowest mark by a single pitcher against any opponent since ERA became an official stat in 1913 (min. 200 IP). The only two besting Kershaw are Reb Russell against the Red Sox (1.49) and Mel Stottlemyre against the Angels (1.49). On this date seven years ago, Kershaw became the youngest pitcher in L.A. Dodger history (21 years, 27 days) to strike out at least 13 batters in a game, when he did so over 7.0 innings against the Giants at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers won the game, 5-4, on a walk-off walk in the bottom of the ninth, and other than Kershaw, the only two players that appeared in that game and are still with their respective clubs are Andre Ethier and Matt Cain. With five strikeouts in his last start, Kershaw moved past Fernando Valenzuela into sole possession of fourth place on the Los Angeles Dodgers all-time strikeout list with 1,760. Next up is Sandy Koufax, who is third with 2,214.

Rachel and Sharon Robinson, the wife and daughter of Jackie Robinson, will be the Dodgers’ guests of honor this evening along with Hall of Famer Frank Robinson, the first African-American manager in the Major Leagues. Dodger owner Earvin “Magic” Johnson and Dodger Special Advisor Don Newcombe, Robinson’s Brooklyn Dodger teammate, will also be in attendance for pregame ceremonies. Frank Robinson will throw the ceremonial first pitch to Dodger skipper Dave Roberts, the first minority manager in Dodger history. The Dodgers played host to Crenshaw High School’s baseball and softball teams at Dodger Stadium this morning for a screening of the Ken Burns’ PBS documentary “Jackie Robinson.” Following the film screening, Dodger historian Mark Langill and Dodger alumnus Tommy Davis led a Q&A session. Earlier today, MLB and the Dodgers hosted a special PLAY BALL event, with Sharon Robinson, Carl Crawford, Trayce Thompson and three-time Olympic gold medalist in softball Leah Amico at Commonwealth Elementary, just minutes away from Dodger Stadium.

PART DEUX: The Dodgers tussle with the Giants tonight in the first

game of a three-game weekend series and the second meeting between

these two rivals this season. Last week, the Giants took three of four from

the Dodgers at AT&T Park in San Francisco, despite Los Angeles holding

at least a two-run lead in each contest. Last night, the Dodgers roared back

with five runs in the seventh inning and won, 5-2, taking two of three

from Arizona. On Monday, the Dodgers travel to Atlanta and Tuesday

begin a six-game road trip that features series against the Braves (3) and

Rockies (3).

The Dodgers went 6-3 against the Giants at Dodger Stadium in

2015 and have won four consecutive home games vs. San

Francisco. Last year, Dodger relievers posted a 1.78 ERA (6

ER/30.1 IP) in eight games against the Giants at Dodger

Stadium and did not allow a home run.

In 2015, the Dodgers posted the best home winning percentage

in Los Angeles history and the fifth-best mark in franchise

history at .679 (55-26). The 55 home wins tied for the most in

LA history along with the 1980 club (55-27).

Los Angeles is opening the season with 13 consecutive games

against divisional opponents after posting a .605 winning

percentage against NL West clubs last year (46-30). The

Dodgers are attempting to become the first team since the

National League West began in 1969 to win four consecutive

division titles. The only teams with three-in-a-row are the

Dodgers (2013-15) and Braves (1991-93).

ACE TO ACE: Dodger starters have combined to go 4-1 and rank among

the Majors’ best in ERA (3rd, 2.45 ERA, 17 ER/62.1 IP), opponents’

batting average (2nd, .185, 41-for-222) and WHIP (2nd, 0.88).

Three-time Cy Young Award-winner Clayton Kershaw

matches up against Giants’ ace Madison Bumgarner for the

second time this season, following the Dodgers’ extra-inning

victory last Saturday in which both starters received a no-

decision. According to ESPN Stats and Information, this

matchup is the most common in baseball (six times) since the

start of last season and this will be their ninth battle overall. In

their previous eight matchups, Kershaw has posted a 2.14 ERA,

but is just 2-4 and the Giants have won five of the eight contests.

According to Elias, the Kershaw-Bumgarner matchup is the

most prolific in the Dodgers-Giants’ series since Doug Rau and

Jim Barr hooked up nine times from 1973-78.

Kershaw has posted a 1.57 ERA (41 ER/235.1 IP) in his career

against the Giants which, according to STATS, LLC, is the

third-lowest mark by a single pitcher against any opponent since

ERA became an official stat in 1913 (min. 200 IP). The only two

besting Kershaw are Reb Russell against the Red Sox (1.49) and

Mel Stottlemyre against the Angels (1.49).

On this date seven years ago, Kershaw became the youngest

pitcher in L.A. Dodger history (21 years, 27 days) to strike out

game, 5-4, on a walk-off walk in the bottom of the ninth, and

other than Kershaw, the only two players that appeared in that

game and are still with their respective clubs are Andre Ethier

and Matt Cain.

With five strikeouts in his last start, Kershaw moved past

Fernando Valenzuela into sole possession of fourth place on

the Los Angeles Dodgers all-time strikeout list with 1,760. Next

up is Sandy Koufax, who is third with 2,214.
