LOS ANGELES (AP) — Clayton Kershaw lingered on the field at Dodger Stadium, taking in the sights for the last time at the ballpark he's called home for his entire 18-year career.

His four children scampered about, catching balls he tossed. He shared an embrace with his wife, Ellen, who wore his No. 22 jersey and is expecting their fifth child. He kissed her forehead.

The Los Angeles Dodgers' 6-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 5 of the World Series on Wednesday night marked Kershaw's final home game. The 37-year-old left-hander announced last month he will retire after this season.

Working out of the bullpen in the postseason, Kershaw didn't get in the game. The defending champion Dodgers head to Toronto for Game 6 on Friday facing elimination.
