Alexander: Clayton Kershaw’s Game 5 a disappointment, and now a decision looms

LOS ANGELES — Was this it?
Clayton Kershaw took the mound at Dodger Stadium on Sunday evening for his 340th career start and 371st appearance as a Dodger, counting the postseason. The question, as the deadline looms to exercise an opt-out clause in his contract, is whether it will be his last in a Dodgers uniform, or merely his last of 2018.
Either way, it wasn’t one to remember unless you root for the Red Sox.
