With the start of the 2020 Major League Baseball season just around the corner, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts officially announced Clayton Kershaw will start on Opening Day against the San Francisco Giants.
It will be Kershaw’s ninth career Opening Day start, which extends his franchise record. He started seven straight from 2012-18 before missing the first game of the season last year due to injury. Hyun-Jin Ryu started in his place and got a win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Kershaw wasn’t the only candidate to get the ball on Opening Day as Walker Buehler certainly made his case after developing into one of the best young pitchers in baseball over the last couple of years.
