Giants' Blach fills in for Bumgarner vs. Dodgers, Kershaw

SAN FRANCISCO -- Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw will try to do something new when he makes his 36th career start against the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night.

Beat Giants left-hander Ty Blach.

The second-year Giant drew Kershaw in his second big-league start on the second-to-last day of the regular season last October. The day couldn't have gone any better for Blach and the Giants.

Needing an improbable win over Kershaw in order to solidify their standing in the National League wild-card race, the Giants rode Blach's eight innings of three-hit, shutout ball to a 3-0 victory.
