Dodgers News: Kershaw, Seager and Jansen Enjoy Day 1 of the MLB All-Star Break

The Los Angeles Dodgers have wrapped up their four game series against the San Diego Padres winning the series 3-1. Officially half way into the season, the team is getting ready for the All-Star game this year by attending media sessions and preparing with their new uniforms.

Unfortunately, Clayton Kershaw had to miss his media session due to his back injury. He is currently rehabbing, but the team hopes he will return in time for the second rotation in the All-Star break.

Looking at the first season stats the Dodgers closed out their home stand strong. They won 7 of their last 10 games and are now 6.5 games back behind the San Francisco Giants for first place in the NL West.
