Dodgers return home tomorrow to face Nationals & Marlins
LOS ANGELES - Following a three-game sweep of the San Diego Padres, the Los Angeles Dodgers return home tomorrow to open a six-game homestand against the Washington Nationals (April 20-22) and Miami Marlins (April 23-25).
The Nationals series, a matchup between perennial playoff teams, includes great pitching matchups, Friday Night Fireworks presented by Denny's, Cody Bellinger Rookie of the Year Bobblehead Night presented by Spectrum on Saturday and a Jr. Dodgers Bat Bag giveaway presented by Hi-Chew to the first 12,000 kids 14 and under on Sunday. Friday night's game will feature a matchup between two three-time Cy Young Award winners Clayton Kershaw and Max Scherzer in their first head-to-head meeting since the 2016 National League Division Series. Sunday will also mark the first Viva Los Dodgers presented by Spectrum and Coca-Cola of the season. The family-friendly pregame festival celebrates Latino culture in Los Angeles and the legacy of Latino Dodgers past and present and starts two hours before the 5:05 p.m. game at the Historic 76 Station in Lot 6.
The Miami Marlins will make their only trip of the season to Dodger Stadium next Monday-Wednesday, with an installment of the 60th Anniversary Collector's Card Set: The 70's presented by 76 giveaway on Monday, a Tuesday giveaway of the It's Time for Dodger Baseball Alarm Clock presented by Your SoCal Honda Dealers and a special 4:35 p.m. gametime for Wednesday's series finale.
