TORONTO (AP) — Clayton Kershaw ended his illustrious 18-year career unaware that he'd just won the World Series again.

At least at first.

The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 in 11 innings in Game 7 on Saturday night to become the first team in a quarter century to win consecutive championships.

But that was news to Kershaw initially.

The three-time Cy Young Award winner was warming up in the bullpen and had lost track of the outs when Alejandro Kirk grounded into a game-ending double play with runners at the corners.

“When he hit the double play, I thought the run scored and it was tied. I had no idea. I thought I had the next batter,” Kershaw said, laughing.

It was left to Dodgers bullpen catcher Josh Bard to let Kershaw know the game was over and they had won.
