LOS ANGELES (AP) — Clayton Kershaw pitches the final regular-season home game of his 18-year career with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. The 37-year-old Kershaw announced his decision to retire at the season’s end. He will be surrounded by teammates, family and fans. Kershaw has won three Cy Young Awards and two World Series championships. The Dodgers’ magic number to clinch a playoff spot is six, and they face the San Francisco Giants. Kershaw acknowledges the importance of the game for both teams. Despite a dip in velocity, his competitive spirit remains strong.
