Slater beat 1-1 on 12 September 2017 in the first field he had seen from Kershaw. Then he saw the curve.

"I think it's the first or second DL," Slater said. "I have to watch it on TV. He has all people Cy ... What I see is it starts from the plate, racket in the left hand, and he felt like it started at the height of the head, and it goes for a strike. This is part of what makes him great. "
Slater started against Kershaw again on Monday and hit the .360 against the left-hander this season. After playing him with passion since he was named in April, Slater took advantage of injury to first baseman Brandon Belt, and played in 17 games, scoring 19 games in San Francisco since July 22, .304.
"I think it's easier for a young player to get consistent clubs and he gets it," coach Bruce Bochy said. "He will get her in this series. In fact, even on the right, I like kelawarnya. It gives us the flexibility, the fact that he can play first base makes it a little easier to take it out as far as possible. "
Belt jersey will hang in a locker room at the San Francisco Giants at Dodger Stadium on Monday, but the band can not rejoin the team later in the series - possibly Tuesday - until the game's recovery on Monday night.
"That's a good chance," Bochy said. "We'll see how it works tonight, if we think he needs one or two more games then he'll get three rackets tonight and then we'll call."
The belt, which cursed its knees on July 25, will receive three blows to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday night in Reno against the aces. He went on Saturday in five inning 0-for-2. With Slater hot and Giants face three straight left hand - starting with Kershaw, the belt hit .079 - it's as good as the belt is still on the shelf.
"With Belt Down, I played almost every day for two weeks, which is good because I can get more rhythm on the plate," Slater said. "It's always nice to deal with lefties, but this year, like the Dodgers now, they have eight, nine, maybe 10 people bullpen, so it'll be interesting to see how they agree with him. I hope I can overcome this advantage before leaving the game. "
Slater - who started this season as a prospect on Giants No. 5, according to MLB.com - the squad could be the youth movement for San Francisco, which also brought Ray Black, Steven Duggar, Andrew Suarez and vice minor league free prodigy Dereck Rodriguez this season. He is also one of the few regular Giants who has successfully hit his left hand successfully. San Francisco, as a team, recorded .249 against left-handers, and .233 against left-back players, although Evan Longoria's third baseman beat .310.
"For me, most people left, their excess back to the bat, obviously the change was gone, but for me it's something - I do not know - maybe they face the rubber," Slater said. "I just saw it and knew the field better, my swing path was close to my body, so positions came to me, I hit them well."
Nine accelerator line 15 Slater this season has come to the right of the diamond. All four came to the right.
"That's definitely a swing track and rapprochement," Slater said. I think I could be better if the chance takes early to consider trying to draw something, but if it is not broken, do not fix it. "
Kershaw, of course, has an extra slider with his curveball to go along, one that erupted in the hands of right-handed hitter, or falls off the table below and in. That makes him one of the best in the game, despite the dramatic drop in speed.
"I think my approach plays very well from the left," Slater said. "With you about the change, the slider that breaks the record, you can survive a bit more with them."
Of course, the Giants will also have a pretty good backlog on Monday: Madison Bumgarner. Bumgarner and Kershaw have faced 11 times, and the first time since 2016. Los Angeles and San Francisco have split the last 10, with Bumgarner posting a 2.56 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 71 striking out 14 walks and Kershaw notes 02.00 WHIP and 0.81 ERA with 78 strikes for just eight runs.
"I'll read the box scores in the paper when I ate a kid I ate cereal for breakfast, and you always want to see the biggest places in them," Slater said. "I think tonight will be a good game."
The Giants are 4-12 in the last 16 games of Bumgarner against NL West troups. San Francisco sits six games back in first place in the division - and five more than the Dodgers - Giants more than Slater will need to find goals against left Los Angeles.
"The really good line is out there," said Bochy of Los Angeles, fourth in the Homer's. "Bum has to be at the top of his game, but it's up to us to get some runs for him."
