Ex-Scot vs. Ex-Scot Not Meant to Be

Even though they did not end up pitching against each other, former Highland Park hurlers Chris Young and Clayton Kershaw did both pitch in games involving their teams, the Padres and Dodgers, this week in Los Angeles.

Kershaw threw last night, notching his third win after taking a no-hitter into the fifth. He gave up three earned runs in seven innings of work in an 8-4 victory. The Dodgers, who are vying to win the NL West with Arizona, are going for the three-game series sweep tonight. Young took the loss in the series opener on Monday.

The teams play again next Monday-Wednesday in San Diego, but it doesn’t appear as though the former Scots will face each other in that series either.
