The Dodgers and Angels will play in Southern California for the first time in 2026 Sunday evening when they meet at Angel Stadium to begin the three-game Freeway Series.<\/p>\n
Tyler Glasnow will start for the Dodgers in the spring training game against fellow right-hander George Klassen, a non-roster invitee to spring training.<\/p>\n
Glasnow was 4-3 with a 3.19 ERA in 18 starts in the 2025 regular season and no record with a 1.69 ERA in six postseason appearances, including three starts. He was on the injured list from April 28 to July 9 because of right shoulder inflammation.<\/p>\n
Klassen pitched nearly the entire 2025 season with the Rocket City Trash Pandas, the Angels\u2019 Double-A Southern League affiliate, with a 4-12 record and 5.35 ERA in 24 starts. He also made one start with the Salt Lake City Bees, the Angels\u2019 Triple-A Pacific Coast League affiliate, allowing two runs in six innings and not figuring in the decision.<\/p>\n
Klassen is 1-1 with a 3.86 ERA in four spring training appearances, including three starts.<\/p>\n

The final two games of the Freeway Series will be played Monday and Tuesday at Dodger Stadium.<\/p>\n
The Angels lead the series that began in 1962, 78-59, with fve games ending in ties. The Dodgers won two of the three games in 2024.<\/p>\n
Spring training games that are tied after nine innings are customarily called once the day\u2019s scheduled pitchers have been used.<\/p>\n
