And, if the Dodgers have their way, a news release will be issued at about 1:11 p.m., with the announcement that Alex Wood has replaced Kershaw on the National League All-Star team. Wood delivered seven shutout innings, carrying the Dodgers to a 1-0 victory over the Arizona Dia-mondbacks. He became the first Dodgers starter to open a season 10-0 since the team moved to Los Angeles. Wood’s earned-run average is 1.67, the lowest of any major league pitcher with at least 80 innings. The Dodgers, in third place on the first day of June, are threatening to run away with the NL West.
