One of baseball's biggest rivalries takes center stage with future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw set to make his final regular-season start at Dodger Stadium on Friday against the San Francisco Giants, in a game crucial for both teams' playoff hopes.
Kershaw, the three-time Cy Young winner, announced Thursday that he would be retiring at the end of the 2025 season, giving fans precious little time to scramble and buy tickets for the contest at Chavez Ravine. One of the greatest pitchers – lefty or otherwise – in Major League Baseball history, Kershaw has a 222-96 career record in 2844 ⅔ innings across 18 seasons.
The Dodgers hold a 2.5-game lead over the San Diego Padres in the NL West entering Friday, while the Giants trail are three games out of the NL's final wild-card spot. All-Star lefty Robbie Ray (11-7, 3.50 ERA) takes the mound for San Francisco.
The Dodgers vs. Giants game Friday night will air on Apple TV+ with first pitch scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET.
