Watch: Dodgers Clubhouse Toast For Clayton Kershaw & Clinching Spot In Postseason

The Los Angeles Dodgers went into Friday’s game against the San Francisco Giants hoping to have a celebratory night in recognition of Clayton Kershaw’s career and also in position to officially secure a spot in the postseason. Doing so was going to require a Dodgers win or loss by the Arizona Diamondbacks. Controlling their own destiny got off to a bumpy beginning as Kershaw surrendered a leadoff home run in the first inning. He wasn’t overly sharp but managed to limit the Giants to two runs while collecting six strikeouts over 4.1 innings. Kershaw exited the game to a prolonged standing ovation from the sold-out crowd at Dodger Stadium. He didn’t factor into the decision but the night wound up ending in triumph.
