Kershaw finished Friday night's start against the rival San Francisco Giants, going 4.1 innings while giving up just two runs on four hits while also walking four on 91 pitches (56 strikes).
And how did he finish the start? With a strikeout, of course.
Kershaw has a 10-2 record on the season with a 3.55 earned run average. In 106.1 innings of work, he's given up 98 hits while striking out 77 and walking 34.
The 37-year-old announced that he will officially retire from baseball at the end of this season. He gave an emotional press conference for the announcement prior to tonight's start.

Earlier this year, Kershaw became just the 20th pitcher in MLB history to reach 3,000 career strikeouts.
He joined recent Hall of Fame inductee CC Sabathia, Philadelphia Phillies legend Steve Carlton, and The Big Unit, Randy Johnson, as the only left-handed pitchers to ever reach 3,000.
Kershaw, Justin Verlander (42), and Max Scherzer (40) as the only other active MLB pitchers to hit the mark - all three future first-ballot Hall of Famers.
The 37-year-old southpaw, known for his nasty slider and wicked 12-6 curveball with a grip that he learned from the Dodgers legend Sandy Koufax himself, has spent his entire 18-year career as a member of the Dodgers organization.
Since making his debut in 2008, Kershaw has gone on to become a three-time Cy Young Award-winning National League MVP and has been elected to the All-Star team 10 times.
In 2011, Kershaw blew the baseball world away after becoming the 37th pitcher in MLB history to win the Triple Crown (wins/ERA/strikeouts), a season that earned him his first of five ERA Titles, which he would go on to win the following three years from 2012-2014, then again in 2017.
During his dominant run in 2015, Kerhsaw not only led the league in complete game shutouts (3) and posted a stellar 2.13 ERA in a league-leading 33 starts, but he also became one of 19 pitchers in history to ever eclipse 300 strikeouts in a single season.
Then, in 2020, despite battling injuries, after 13 long years, Kershaw could finally call himself a champion after the Dodgers took down the Tampa Bay Rays in six games to win the World Series.
Kershaw would also be part of the team that won the World Series in 2024, and while given a ring, the record books won't show it after missing the first half of the season with a shoulder injury and the rest of the season with a toe injury (started seven total games that year).
