Catch up on all the storylines heading into Tuesday's game, when Clayton Kershaw will start for the Dodgers as they take on the San Diego Padres at Petco Park.
Dylan Cease is coming off the first no-hitter of his career, which earned him National League Player of the Week honors. Clayton Kershaw is making his second start of the season. Kershaw is 23-10 with a 2.12 ERA in 46 career starts against the Padres, but history will have less bearing on his fortunes today than the progress he's made since undergoing surgery on his left shoulder last year. If Kershaw looks rusty, the Padres could have the upper hand.
• Dodgers DH Shohei Ohtani is hitting .316 with 30 runs scored, 13 homers, two triples, nine doubles and 30 RBI in the leadoff spot since Mookie Betts was injured on June 16. • Kiké Hernandez, who's batting eighth and playing third base today, is 5 for 10 in his career against Dylan Cease with a home run.If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLERJ.P.
