Tonight is a night you don’t want to miss, Dodgers Nation. Future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw is making his fourth start of the season and going for win number 200 in his illustrious career. The ace is 2-1 with a 3.50 ERA so far this season and showing that he’s still got something in the tank… as long as he isn’t pitching in Arizona.

Kersh will also look to stop the bleeding for the Dodgers who have lost 2 straight and 7 of their last 10.

Clayton Kershaw's next start is scheduled to be April 18 at home against the Mets.

If he gets the win in that one, it'll be win No. 200 of his career.

No better place to do that than at home in front of the Dodger Stadium crowd!!
