Kershaw mustered some of the best of what he has left for the first five innings Saturday and decision to return in 2024 or retire won’t be made for some time yet, he insists.
SAN FRANCISCO – If we are to take Clayton Kershaw at his word, he doesn’t know if this was his final regular-season start. The decision to return in 2024 or retire won’t be made for some time yet, he insists.Max Muncy bobbled a tailor-made double play ball that would have ended the sixth inning. Instead, the go-ahead run scored and Kershaw left the game, taking the loss as the San Francisco Giants beat the Dodgers 2-1 Saturday night.
“He’s just a very humble person. So I do think about it. I think there’s an undertone this potentially could be his last regular-season game with the Dodgers. I don’t know that. So I don’t let my mind go too far into that. But you know, when it happens – which is inevitable – we’ll give it its due. But I just don’t think that’s what Clayton wants.”
Instead, he relied on his slider , mixing in nine curveballs and six changeups. Five of his nine swing-and-misses came on the slider.
