Seventeen years after their first head-to-head matchup, Clayton Kershaw and Max Scherzer met for perhaps the last time in their storied careers on Friday night when the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 5-1.

Clayton Kershaw out-pitched Max Scherzer in a matchup for the ages, and Mookie Betts homered and drove in three runs to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers past the Toronto Blue Jays 5-1 on Friday night.

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw took on fellow future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer of the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night and earned the victory with help from Mookie Betts. Betts hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the fifth inning and drove in another run in the three-run seventh to help the host Dodgers to a 5-1 victory in the opener of the three-game series.
