Logan O'Hoppe, Taylor Ward and Mathew Lugo homered and the Los Angeles Angels spoiled Clayton Kershaw's season debut, beating the Dodgers 11-9 on Saturday night to take the first two games of the three-game series.

One of the greatest left-handed pitchers in Major League Baseball history made his long-awaited return to the mound on Saturday. Despite being without Clayton Kershaw for the first 45 games of the 2025 season, the Los Angeles Dodgers entered the day atop the National League West with a 29–16 record.

For Kershaw, this game was about more than just the result; it was an emotional moment: “I love being back out there, it’s a special thing.”
