All-Star 'Legend Pick' Clayton Kershaw looks to turn Dodgers' fortunes at Brewers

Hindustan Times08-07-2025
The visiting Los Angeles Dodgers will look to even the series against Milwaukee on Tuesday night behind veteran left-hander Clayton Kershaw the newest member of baseball's 3,000-strikeout club while the Brewers will counter with hard-throwing rookie sensation Jacob Misiorowski. All-Star 'Legend Pick' Clayton Kershaw looks to turn Dodgers' fortunes at Brewers
Kershaw will make his 10th start since coming off the injured list in mid-May. Misiorowski , a right-hander who was the National League Rookie of the Month for June, suffered his first loss his last time out.
The Brewers won the series opener 9-1 on Monday, the Dodgers' fourth consecutive loss, tied for their longest skid of the season.
Freddy Peralta tossed six scoreless innings and Andrew Vaughn, called up earlier in the day from Triple-A Nashville, had a three-run homer in his first at-bat with Milwaukee during a five-run first inning. Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto failed to get out of the first, allowing five runs and needing 41 pitches to get two outs the shortest start of his major league career.
"We've got Kersh going tomorrow," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "I like the guys that we have behind him. We've just got to put forth a good offensive effort, catch the baseball and find a way to win a game."
The Dodgers have not lost five straight since May of last season.
After going 0-0 with a 4.91 ERA in three starts in May, Kershaw was 4-0 with a 2.28 ERA in five starts in June.
Kershaw, 37, is 9-5 with a 2.85 ERA in 19 career starts vs. Milwaukee. He has won his last three starts against the Brewers over the last two seasons, allowing just three runs in 17 2/3 innings.
Kershaw, selected for his 11th All-Star game as a "Legend Pick," recorded his 3,000th career strikeout in his most recent start, although he did not get the decision in his team's 5-4 comeback win over the White Sox on Wednesday.
"It was overwhelming to feel that," Kershaw said afterward. "I don't have a lot of great words other than that it was just really special."
Misiorowski, who has topped 100 mph on 68 of his 313 big-league pitches, allowed just two runs in 16 innings in winning his first three starts after being called up from the minors in mid-June.
In his last outing, the 23-year-old gave up all five of his runs in the second inning on a grand slam and a solo homer in a 7-3 loss to the New York Mets. He lasted only 3 2/3 innings, giving up five hits.
"I use the old Tiger Woods approach and move on to the next hit. Move on to the next pitch," Misiorowski said afterward. "It's frustrating, but at the same time, it's a young career and it's good to figure it out now, not when we're in the playoffs and it matters most."
Opponents are batting just .123 against Misiorowski, who has struck out 21 and walked 10 in 19 2/3 innings.
Christian Yelich extended his on-base streak to 19 games Monday for Milwaukee with his team-leading 18th home run. Over that span, he is hitting .355 with five homers and six doubles with 21 RBIs and 12 runs.

Koneru Humpy, Divya Deshmukh Settle For A Draw In Game 2 Of FIDE Women's World Cup Final; Tiebreaks To Ensue On Monday

Koneru Humpy and Divya Deshmukh will face tiebreaks to decide the FIDE Women's World Cup winner after drawing Game 2 on Sunday. Well, it was level pegging yet again, and tiebreaks shall decide the fate of Koneru Humpy and Divya Deshmukh, who played out yet another enthralling draw at Game 2 of the FIDE Women's World Cup on Sunday. The Indian players, currently tied at 1-1 each, shall now enter the tiebreaks to decide the ultimate winner. Both finalists already made history, becoming the first-ever Indians to qualify for the semifinals of the Women's World Cup, after which both players went on the schedule the first-ever All-Indian final at the event. Game 1 of the Final was a nail-biting draw, which saw Divya throw away her lead with the white pieces, allowing the veteran Humpy to fight her way back into the game and force the draw. With the title on the line, Humpy and Divya came in with the idea of finishing off the bout today. Humpy started off with a conservative opening, in an attempt to hold onto her slender advantage with the white pieces. But, a spirited Divya was on top of her game, attacking the veteran with might and courage, piling the time pressure on Humpy early on. Move 20, though, proved to be a moment of importance. Divya, playing with two knights, offered a tempting Queen Exchange to Humpy, who had two bishops on offer. But the veteran took her sweet time, burning the clock down to a little less than 35 minutes left, to deny the offer and push Divya, who held the clear time advantage, to an early endgame. Divya, though, kept her composure to work her way out of the rut and secure the draw, to live to fight another day. Humpy and Divya will face off in the tiebreaks tomorrow, on Monday. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
