This will be Kershaw’s first time facing the Giants this year. The Dodgers are 5-2 in their last seven games against San Francisco with Kershaw on the mound. Samardzija held the Baltimore Orioles to a run on three hits in six innings of work during an 8-1 win at Camden Yards on Jun. 2. He allowed zero runs and just two hits in five innings in a 3-2 win over the Dodgers at home last April.

Buehler allowed three earned runs on six this in a 10-3 win at Oracle Park late last April. Bumgarner went six innings long in a 9-3 road win over the New York Mets on Jun. 4.
