The Brooklyn Dodgers defeated the then-Philadelphia Athletics, 4-2. The game was started by Carl Erskine, who famously returned to Dodgertown 55 years later to play the national anthem on his harmonica.

"To keep it simple, we did a pretty decent job last season, but we want more," Jansen said. "We want to be successful, which means we have to do better than we did last season.

With Paul Skenes, Tarik Skubal, Joe Ryan and Logan Webb solidifying the rotation, it is safe to assume Kershaw's role will be out of the bullpen. It is a role he has experience in from the end of the Dodgers' 2025 season. He made the Dodgers' postseason roster in three of the four rounds in a reliever role. The left-hander made two separate appearances, which included recording the final out in the 12th inning of Game 3 of the World Series to escape a bases-loaded jam.
