"Game 162 of the 2025 season was meaningless in terms of the playoff sorting, but it was still a must-watch affair as Clayton Kershaw took the mound for his last regular season start and appearance. He didn't disappoint either, as he went 5.1 shutout innings as the Mariners struggled to do any damage against him. Kershaw also continued to get backing from the offense, as a trio of homers completed the sweep to end the year and sent him off with a 6-1 win."
"For the most part, his start was uneventful in a good way. He allowed a double and walk in the 3rd, and uncorked a wild pitch after a single for the only other runner he allowed past first. That play also led to a rather humorous Ben Rortvedt mistake. Kershaw, of course, worked around those jams to keep a zero on the board. He then came out to get one batter in the 6th and did exactly that, ending his career on a strikeout of Eugenio Suarez."
Clayton Kershaw made his final regular-season start, throwing 5.1 shutout innings while allowing four hits, one walk and striking out seven on 94 pitches. The Dodgers backed him with three home runs to complete a season-ending sweep and a 6-1 victory. Kershaw allowed a double and a walk in the third and uncorked a wild pitch after another single, but escaped the jams. He returned for one batter in the sixth and struck out Eugenio Suárez, exiting to a standing ovation as Freddie Freeman removed him. Landon Knack retired six straight, yielded a run in the eighth, then closed a scoreless ninth to finish the season.
