GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) – National League MVP and Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw will start for the Los Angeles Dodgers on opening day for the fifth straight season, taking the mound at home April 6 against the San Diego Padres.
”That’s the plan,” Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Monday.
Mattingly said he spoke to the left-hander four or five days ago about the start. Mattingly joked about the start when spring training began.
”I still have to talk to our candidate about that,” he said then.
Kershaw won his first MVP award and third Cy Young after going 21-3 with a 1.77 ERA last season.
