The Dodgers and Giants are back at it Friday night for the second act of the Opening Series at Dodger Stadium. The rivals from up north snapped Clayton Kershaw‘s eight-year Opening Day winning streak, the difference being a Joe Panik solo home run. Alex Wood looks to even the series up and to demonstrate his capability as the No. 2 starter behind Kersh in the Dodgers’ rotation.

Wood has abandoned his windup and now exclusively pitches out of the stretch, a mechanical change Allen wrote about this week.
