The Los Angeles Dodgers conclude their 2016 Spring Training schedule with a matchup against the Cleveland Indians at Camelback Ranch on Wednesday afternoon. The meeting is the third between the two clubs this year, with Cleveland entering 1-0-1.
Clayton Kershaw is on the mound for a final tuneup in preparation of his Opening Day start on April 4 against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park. In his previous outing, which came against the Indians, Kershaw allowed two runs on seven hits and had seven strikeouts to three walks in five innings.
He was removed due to a high pitch count, which Kershaw said in his postgame comments was something he needed to improve on. Kershaw is 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and has 21 strikeouts in 20 innings pitched across five Spring Training starts.
He’s opposed by Corey Kluber, who makes his sixth start of the spring. Overall this year, the right-hander is 3-1 with a 2.21 ERA and 1.38 WHIP.
Kluber has made one career start against the Dodgers, suffering a loss in a pitching duel with Dan Haren in 2014. In the start, Kluber had five strikeouts and allowed one run on six hits in 6.2 innings pitched.
