Award Winner: Dodgers and Padres

award winner: We got a step closer last year and everybody knows what the goal is, general manager Farhan Zaidi said, according to Hamilton Spectator. Kershaw will tie Don Sutton and Don Drysdale for most season-opening starts in franchise history. Kershaw takes the mound for his seventh consecutive opening day start on Monday against Jhoulys Chacin and the rebuilding San Diego Padres. The Dodgers have won their last three openers against the Padres in 2012, '15 and '16 with the three-time NL Cy Young Award winner on the mound. This time, the teams play four in Los Angeles to start before the Dodgers close out the week on the road at Colorado. Last year's opener was a 15-0 rout in San Diego, where the Dodgers outscored the Padres 25-0 in the season's first three games. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
