A full slate of 15 MLB games on Jackie Robinson Day concludes with the sporting icon's Dodgers hosting the Mets in Los Angeles.
Despite New York's struggles of late, it's a matchup worth waiting for, with Shohei Ohtani set to take the mound for his third start of the season and Clay Holmes scheduled to get the ball for the Mets.
Ohtani has been brilliant as usual so far, allowing just five hits and one unearned run in 12 innings across two starts — not to mention his .943 OPS and five home runs at the plate. The veteran Holmes has the unenviable task of matching up against the MVP on both fronts, but the right-hander is off to a strong start in his second season with the Mets with a 1.50 ERA in three starts.
Every player will once again wear Robinson's No. 42 as MLB commemorates the 79th anniversary of the Hall of Famer's barrier-breaking Dodgers debut.
