"Clayton Kershaw told me this morning since #Dodgers are in a fight to win the NL West he couldn't really think about last night possibly being his last start at Oracle Park. "I don't think about this could be my last one, just try to enjoy it when I do pitch here." - David Vassegh (@THEREAL_DV) September 14, 2025"
"It wound up being a night to forget for Kershaw as he allowed four runs in the first inning after the Dodgers had taken a 1-0 lead. Kershaw completed just three innings and exited with the Dodgers trailing 4-3. The start was Kershaw's shortest since he pitched two innings against the New York Mets on May 23, which was interrupted by a lengthy rain delay that forced the Dodgers to make a change."
"The outing was atypical for Kershaw at Oracle Park, where he holds a lifetime 1.84 ERA across 200.1 innings pitched. He memorably pitched a complete-game shutout there to help the Dodgers clinch the National League West title in 2015."
Clayton Kershaw is approaching his 18th regular season with the Los Angeles Dodgers and has largely avoided direct answers about retiring after 2025. He made his 63rd career appearance (60th start) against the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park, his 31st outing there. Kershaw said he focused on the Dodgers' NL West fight and did not dwell on whether the start could be his last at that ballpark. He allowed four runs in the first inning, completed three innings, and exited with the Dodgers trailing 4-3, his shortest full start since May 23. Kershaw re-signed on a one-year deal after surgeries last year.
