LOS ANGELES — Clayton Kershaw has started 212 times at Dodger Stadium in the regular season and playoffs.Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker chose Kershaw to start for the National League in Tuesday’s All-Star Game, the first at Dodger Stadium in 42 years.
A three-time Cy Young Award winner and nine-time All-Star, one of the few boxes left unchecked on Kershaw’s Hall of Fame resume is an All-Star start. He has been passed over multiple times in the past, most notably in 2013 when he was on his way to the second of those Cy Young honors. NL manager Bruce Bochy chose then-New York Mets ace Matt Harvey to start the game at Citi Field.
He ended last season with a flexor tendon injury that sidelined him for the postseason. Kershaw, 34, considered signing with his hometown Texas Rangers before returning to the Dodgers following the lockout on a one-year contract.
