Tulsa baseball fans will have a rare chance to see a pitcher who already has Hall of Fame credentials take the mound at ONEOK Field.

Los Angeles Dodgers ace and three-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw will pitch for the Drillers against the Springfield Cardinals at 7:05 p.m. Tuesday in his second injury-rehab start this season.

“It’s going to be cool to play behind him,” Drillers infielder Gavin Lux said. “He’s one of the best pitchers ever. I’m really looking forward to it. Just watching about how he goes about his business and his routine is pretty unbelievable. It’s a learning experience for everyone.”

Large crowds are rare for Tuesday games in Tulsa, but the Drillers announced Monday night that the game had already sold out. The Drillers sold 3,500 tickets on Monday by 2 p.m., only about 12 hours after the news of Kershaw’s Tulsa appearance was reported. By Monday night, no tickets remained.

“It’s going to be electric,” Drillers manager Scott Hennessey said. “I know everyone is going to be excited to see one of the greatest pitchers of our generation, if not all-time. It will be a night to remember.”
