Clayton Kershaw, just days away from the end of his storied Los Angeles Dodgers career, made a dramatic bullpen appearance that few expected. Having already announced his plans to retire after the season, it was unclear whether the legendary left-hander would take the mound again. During Game 3 of the World Series, Kershaw began warming up in the ninth inning, then again in the 11th and 12th, before finally entering with the bases loaded and two outs in a tie game.
It marked the first extra-inning appearance of his illustrious career – a fitting, emotional chapter in his final days as a Dodger. Kershaw, who has made 451 starts for Los Angeles over his illustrious career, took the mound in the 12th inning on Monday night in relief of Emmet Sheehan.
The atmosphere was electric with tension visible in the entire stadium. At 37, in what’s set to be his final postseason before retirement, Kershaw was summoned for one last critical out. And he rose to the moment. Kershaw forced a groundout to second, escaping a bases-loaded jam and preserving the 5-5 tie.
