Clayton Kershaw (222-96, 2.54) vs. Robbie Ray.
Tonight is Joe Davis Bobblehead Night at Dodger Stadium. However, the publicity-hogging Clayton Kershaw decided to make his big retirement announcement yesterday, and with his final regular-season start at Dodger Stadium this evening, Kershaw has now completely eclipsed Davis' moment in the spotlight.
Davis, who has been the Los Angeles Dodgers' main play-by-play announcer since 2017 (after joining the Dodgers broadcasting team in 2016), took over for Vin Scully. He calls about 90 games per season for the Dodgers, since he is constrained by his other jobs calling national baseball and football games.
It's kind of sad that Davis is getting totally overshadowed by a guy who only started 20 games and has only 102 innings this year (to be fair, the 102 innings rank third on the team, and the 20 games started ranks second). But I guess tonight's sellout crowd that surely came to show their love for Davis will have to spare a little bit of gratitude for Kershaw.
I mean, 11x All-Star, 2x World Series Champion, 2014 NL MVP, 3x Cy Young Award, no-hitter--Kershaw is still the most important and legendary pitcher for the Dodgers franchise, sure. I'll give Kid K that.

6-3 Dodgers at the stretch. Wrobleski cedes one in the top of the seventh.
Sounds like Pages just made a good catch to end the eighth.
Wish I could see it!
Arizona loses, so the Dodgers clinch a 2025 postseason berth!
Tanner Scott has one out, but has given up a base hit and a walk, so the tying run is at the plate.
Tanner, sack the fuck up.
Called strike three to Devers, who golden sombreros. That may have been a gift.
Here's Matt Chapman, not an easy out. He's 2-for-4 tonight.
Chapman pops it up to Mookie!
WIN
