Kershaw struck out leadoff hitter Rafael Devers in the top of the fifth inning, trailing 1-2.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, Shohei Ohtani saw off Kershaw by exploding a three-run home run (52nd of the season) that turned over 4-2.

MLB.COM, the official website of Major League Baseball, said 'Kershaw left with thunderous applause. I was soaked in the love poured out by fans, teammates and coaching staff. Fans said Kershaw gave him a standing ovation for three and a half minutes, hugging the infielders and hugging Roberts.

Kershaw thanked all the fans who came to the stands at Dodger Stadium and everyone I was with. It's fullThere was nothing more pleasing than pitching at Just Stadium" he remembered.

However, it may not be the end of your career. MLB.COM reported 'Kershaw is likely to make his last start in an away game next week. It is expected to be included in the postseason roster, but it will not be in the starting rotation, he predicted.
