Kershaw was officially named the Dodgers' Opening Day starter Tuesday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
The announcement comes as little surprise as Kershaw had previously been announced as the club's Opening Day starter in spring training. The southpaw has received the honor on eight previous occasions, compiling a 1.05 ERA and leading the team to a 7-1 record in those appearances. Los Angeles is slated to open the 2020 campaign against San Francisco on July 23.
