Clayton Kershaw's Final Home Start: Top Moments From A Memorable Night

It proved to be an emotional night at Dodger Stadium. 

Clayton Kershaw made his final regular season home start on Friday after announcing he will retire at season's end. Some of the top moments from a memorable evening at Chavez Ravine, which culminated with a 6-3 win over the San Francisco Giants. 

The Dodgers beat the Giants to ensure a postseason spot. All eyes now turn to securing the NL West crown and beyond.

From one MVP to another. With Kershaw done for the night, Shohei Ohtani soaked up some of the spotlight with this home run in the bottom of the fifth to give the Dodgers the lead. Mookie Betts, yet another MVP, also homered in the frame. 

Kershaw's night came to an end after 4.1 innings. For his final act, he struck out San Francisco Giants' slugger Rafael Devers. 

Kershaw's final line on Friday was — four hits, four walks, six strikeouts and two earned runs over 4.1 innings. He's not eligible to record a win. 

Kershaw worked his way out of a fourth-inning jam to keep the score at 2-1. After allowing Patrick Bailey to hit a single to lead off the frame, he got Drew Gilbert and Heliot Ramos to hit pop-ups. He then got the best of Willy Adames, outlasting him and striking him out after a nine-pitch at-bat.  

Los Angeles Rams' quarterback Matthew Stafford is in attendance, among other sports celebrities, to support his long-time friend, Kershaw. 

"To be able to see him do it now, for so many years in LA is incredible," Stafford said when interviewed on the broadcast. "I didn't want to miss this."

Stafford and the Rams travel to Philadelphia this weekend to face the Eagles on Sunday, but the plane wasn't going to leave before Stafford could get over to Dodgers Stadium and support his buddy. Kershaw and Stafford
