Dodgers @ Mets May 23, 2025: Kershaw opens the NLCS rematch, Ohtani facing hitters tomorrow

The Dodgers held off Arizona to wrap up a series in on Wednesday, as Teoscar Hernandez‘s three run homer was all Dustin May and the bullpen needed for a 3-1 win. Today, the Dodgers kick off a tough road trip in Queens, before traveling to Cleveland and returning to New York next weekend for a World Series rematch. Clayton Kershaw starts the series tonight against Griffin Canning.
