Clayton Kershaw makes his first start of 2022 as Los Angeles Dodgers look to complete a series sweep of Minnesota Twins at Target Field.
Kershaw has never previously faced the Twins in his career. Last season, Kershaw posted the highest ERA of his career since his rookie year, but it was still top-35 among pitchers with at least 120 innings, and his FIP ranked 10th. Have you subscribed to the Dodger Blue YouTube channel? Trea Turner has also had success against Paddack, hitting .500 in six at-bats. “Just kind of how it played out,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said of Kershaw slotting fifth in the starting rotation. Clayton Kershaw takes the mound in his first start of 2022 and the first since his injury at the end of last season.
Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers take on the Twins on Wednesday afternoon in Minneapolis.

Los Angeles Dodgers fans were shocked with Andrew Heaney's debut performance after his terrible spring training with the team.
That’s when Heaney was removed from the game, but not before 4.1 innings, three hits, zero walks, and a 37 CSW%! But … BUT! His fastball spin rate ranked in the 90th percentile of the league and his curveball spin was in the 67th percentile. That troubling start to spring training now looks like a whole lot of unnecessary worry among the fan base.
Los Angeles' Clayton Kershaw will make his season debut when the Dodgers face the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday in Minneapolis.
“I’m still the same guy but just want a fresh start,” he said after the trade. The Dodgers won the opener of a two-game series 7-2 on Tuesday night in a four-hour contest that was delayed 88 minutes because of rain. Paddack, 26, is 20-19 with a 4.21 ERA in 61 career games (60 starts), all of which have come for San Diego. He is 25-5 with a 2.08 ERA in 45 career interleague starts. Really, I just came back too soon the first time, so I’m going to be cautious this time.” “We’re going to be cautious this time,” Kershaw said.
