Clayton Kershaw pitched 5 1/3 scoreless innings in the final regular-season start of his illustrious 18-year career to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 6-1 victory against the host Seattle Mariners on Sunday afternoon. Los Angeles will be the No. The American League West champion Mariners (90-72) were swept in the three-game interleague series after entering with 16 wins in their previous 17 games. Kershaw (11-2), who announced this month that he will retire after this season, allowed four hits, walked one and struck out seven. He would be eligible for selection in later playoff rounds if Los Angeles advances.
