The Los Angeles Dodgers secured a 5-4 win in Friday’s series opener against the Kansas City Royals. The defending champions will look to secure a series victory over the Royals Saturday.
The Dodgers lineup will face right-handed pitcher Seth Lugo, who is 4-5 with a 2.93 ERA and 68 strikeouts.
Hyeseong Kim will start at second base with no Tommy Edman in the lineup. Will Smith is also out for Saturday’s game, and thus, Dalton Rushing will be behind the plate.
