Dodgers vs. Phillies probable pitchers, game times, TV info & more

The Dodgers conclude their 10-game road trip with four games in Philadelphia against the Phillies, beginning Monday night at Citizens Bank Park. Here is a look at the starting pitching matchups and schedule for the series.

Monday, 4:05 p.m. PT (SportsNet LA)

Clayton Kershaw is five innings shy of 162 on the season, which would ensure he qualifies for a potential fifth major league ERA title at the end of the season. At 2.12, Kershaw has a third of a run lead over his closest competitor (Corey Kluber, 2.44). Kershaw is also 12 strikeouts shy of becoming the first Dodgers pitcher with seven seasons of 200 strikeouts.

Nick Pivetta made his major league debut on Apr. 30 at Dodger Stadium, allowing two runs in five innings in a loss. The rookie right-hander has gotten his head kicked in since the All-Star break, posting an 8.84 ERA in 57 innings, allowing five or more runs in seven of his 12 starts during that span.

Yu Darvish has faced the Phillies just once in his career, allowing one run in seven innings while striking out nine in a win for the Rangers on May 16 earlier this season in Arlington.

Aaron Nola is 8-4 with a 3.01 ERA in 12 home starts in 2017, with 94 strikeouts and 20 walks in 80⅔ innings. The right-hander had a streak of 10 straight starts of at least six innings allowing two or fewer runs earlier this season. He struck out 11 in seven innings in a win over the Marlins in his last start, on Wednesday in Philadelphia.
