The Los Angeles Dodgers aim to bounce back from their recent loss against the New York Mets in the second game of a four-game series at Dodger Stadium. This matchup follows a disappointing game for the Dodgers on Monday night.
Taking the mound for Los Angeles is Clayton Kershaw, who is making his fourth start of the season. Mookie Betts makes his return to the lineup after recovering from a toe fracture that sidelined him for the last four games. Hyeseong Kim will start at second base, batting ninth in the order.
The Mets are on a roll, currently enjoying a four-game winning streak and winning eight out of their last nine games. Tylor Megill, a right-hander with a 3.52 ERA over 53.2 innings this season, will be pitching for New York.
The Dodgers’ starting lineup for the game includes Shohei Ohtani (DH), Mookie Betts (SS), Freddie Freeman (1B), Teoscar Hernandez (RF), Will Smith (C), Max Muncy (3B), Andy Pages (CF), Michael Conforto (LF), and Hyeseong Kim (2B).
Kershaw, a three-time Cy Young award winner, has yet to secure a win in 2025, holding a 4.91 ERA through 11 innings pitched, and he is just 26 strikeouts away from reaching the significant milestone of 3,000 career strikeouts.
The game is set to start at 7:10 p.m. PT/10:10 p.m. ET and will be available for viewing on TBS and SNLA.
This matchup serves as a crucial opportunity for the Dodgers to regain momentum and showcase their resilience against a strong Mets team. Fans are eagerly anticipating Kershaw’s performance and Betts’ contribution as they strive for victory.
