Instead, LA won 6-5.</p><p>Glasnow <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rays-news-tyler-glasnow-excited-2023-debut-dodgers" rel="noopener">was making his first start</a> of the year after previously battling an injury, and surrendered three earned runs over 4.1 innings pitched. Kershaw was making his first start since <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-clayton-kershaw-move-claim-rays-pitcher-zack-burdi" rel="noopener">returning from the bereavement list</a> and lasted five innings while allowing four earned runs against a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rays-news-tampa-bay-reaches-insane-home-run-feat-that-will-blow-your-mind" rel="noopener">talented Rays offense</a>.</p><p>Despite the circumstances, Kershaw <a href="https://twitter.com/SportsNetLA/status/1662610581210423296" rel="noopener">wasn’t content with his performance</a> on Saturday, per SportsNet LA.</p><p>“Well this was just such a great team win, I didn’t have anything to do with it unfortunately,” Kershaw told reporters after the game. “Bullpen pitched four solid innings, Freddie (Freeman), everybody, guys had clutch hits all the way up and down. Personally, it was frustrating… for the most part, it was a great team win. Hopefully, I’ll be a part of one here soon.”</p><h2><b>Clayton Kershaw expects </b>greatness</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Clayton-Kershaw-speaks-out-on-Los-Angeles-having-his-back-vs.-Rays2.jpg"></figure><p>Clayton Kershaw’s postgame comments are telling of what a tremendous competitor he is. The future Hall of Famer was fresh off the bereavement list following the death of his mother. Additionally, he was facing a great hitting team. The fact that Kershaw pitched as well as he did is impressive enough.</p><p>In the end, though, Kershaw expects greatness. It’s why he’s been so good for so long. While many pitchers fizzle out in their mid-30’s, the Dodgers’ left-hander is in the midst of another fantastic campaign. It’s also the reason why fans can be confident in him moving forward.</p><p>He’s also a team player and was happy to see the Dodgers get the win. LA will look to add another victory versus the Rays on Sunday at Tropicana Field.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Stay tuned for more details,” the Dodgers <a href="https://twitter.com/Dodgers/status/1662157232165748747" rel="noopener">also shared</a>.</p><p>Comments on the Dodgers’ post were mixed. Kershaw, a devout Christian, is clearly excited for the relaunch of the Christian Faith and Family Day. It will be interesting to see what kind of further reaction the announcement receives.</p><p>As mentioned in both Kershaw and the Dodgers’ announcements, the faith-based day will take place on July 30th at Dodger Stadium.</p><p>From a baseball standpoint, the Dodgers currently lead the National League West with a 31-20 record. They have played an impressive brand of baseball in 2023 despite dealing with a number of impactful injury concerns.

Roberts also laid their plans down against the Rays as they face them next.</p><p>“Julio played catch yesterday, played catch today. He says he’s feeling good. Obviously, we want him to start once his time on the IL is up,” Roberts said regarding Julio Urias, per SportsNet LA. The Mexican starting pitcher’s status still remains at 15-day IL.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Dave Roberts praises the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Dodgers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Dodgers</a> young pitchers for stepping up and provides an update on Julio Urías &amp; Clayton Kershaw. <a href="https://t.co/2zFQPYyEfk">pic.twitter.com/2zFQPYyEfk</a></p><p>— SportsNet LA (@SportsNetLA) <a href="https://twitter.com/SportsNetLA/status/1661511323245776897?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 24, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Urias last played against the St. Louis Cardinals in their May 19 matchup. In the game, he was knocked around for six earned runs across just three innings. For worried Los Angeles fans, he did throw a bullpen session with the Dodgers in preparation for their next game which is a good sign of recovery.</p><p>On the other hand, Roberts also gave a huge update on Clayton Kershaw’s possible re-entry to the team. Kershaw is expected to join the Dodgers a day before their game against the Rays. There is also a high likelihood that he pitches in that game as well.</p><p>Clayton Kershaw is in bereavement at the moment. This comes after the untimely passing of his mother, Marianne Tombaugh. Kershaw has not been with the team since his start against the Minnesota Twins. He has been taking his time to grieve the loss ever since that game.</p><p>Despite these key absences, the Los Angeles Dodgers still remain first in the NL West. The team will only get better as they get their roster back.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

If it wasn’t for Cole, who knows where this ball club would be.</p><p>One area where Gerrit Cole has always shined has been in the strikeout category. He’s led the league in K’s twice, and has struck out 200 or more hitters on five separate occasions. It’s been no different during the ’23 campaign, with Cole entering Tuesday with 68 strikeouts.</p><p>He’s making a case for best pitcher in baseball right now. If he continues to perform at such a high level, the Yankees are going to make a deep playoff run. However, despite Cole’s historic evening, New York trails the Orioles as of this story’s publication.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
