A roar of applause followed pitcher Clayton Kershaw as he walked off the mound Friday evening in his final regular season start at home in Dodger Stadium ahead of his recently announced retirement

Kershaw gave up two runs out of 91 pitches in the matchup against the San Francisco Giants before striking out Rafael Devers to close out the top of the 5th inning. He embraced teammates, shook hands with manager Dave Roberts, then blew kisses and mouthed words of appreciation to thousands of fans giving him a standing ovation as he walked to the dugout.

Shohei Ohtani followed up Kershaw’s performance with a three run home run, and another homer by Mookie Betts would give the Dodgers a 5-2 lead by the end of the fifth inning. They would hold on to beat the giants with a final score of 6-3.
