Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers makes a comeback for the series opener against the Rockies

+

Following another successful road trip in the second half, the Los Angeles Dodgers are aiming to regroup within their own stadium on Thursday as they initiate a 10-game homestand against the Colorado Rockies. Having achieved an 11-4 record on the road in the latter half of the season, the Dodgers secured a 2-0 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday. However, their performance at home has been less impressive, standing at 5-4 since the All-Star break. The Dodgers are welcoming back a reliable member of their pitching rotation, as experienced left-hander Clayton Kershaw (10-4, 2.55 ERA) is scheduled to make his return on Thursday after recovering from a shoulder injury. Kershaw, a 10-time All-Star, last pitched on June 27, when he held the Rockies to just one hit over six scoreless innings in Denver.
