There would have been a time that seeing Clayton Kershaw square off against Tyler Glasnow would have been the must-watch pitching match-up of the year. I say this not in the past tense because these guys are terrible now, but because Glasnow is just making his first post-rehab appearance, and Kershaw has been on the cusp of retirement for the last season or two. He’s not the pitcher he once was, and Glasnow isn’t yet back to who we know he can be.
It did make for some scoring opportunities though, something a typical ace-off is sorely lacking.
