Freeway Series Preview: Dodgers Start Clayton Kershaw On Short Rest

The Los Angeles Dodgers went into the season not having lost three games in a row since August 2019, but have done so three separate times this year.

They enter play Saturday against the L.A. Angels mired in a season-worst four-game losing streak. Meanwhile, the Angels are fresh off snapping a five-game losing streak with a 9-2 win in the Freeway Series opener.

The Dodgers look to end their skid behind Clayton Kershaw taking the mound on short rest. He does so after throwing 39 pitches in just one inning on Tuesday. The outing marked the shortest start of Kershaw’s career.
