Surprise, Ariz. ? Clayton Kershaw and Yorduna Ventura each had their final outing in preparation for opening day, and the Los Angeles Dodgers and Kansas City Royals tied 4-4 Wednesday.

Kershaw, the 2014 National League MVP and Cy Young Award winner, threw 45 pitches while facing 11 batters and gave up one hit and an unearned run. He’ll next face the San Diego Padres on April 6.

“I was still a little bit all over the place,” Kershaw said. “I walked two guys in three innings. We don’t want to do that. And then had a couple of hard hit balls right at guys. Definitely, room for improvement, but physically I feel good and ready to go. That’s all you can ask for at this point.”

Kershaw had a 1.61 ERA this spring. He gave up just 15 hits and struck out 22 in 22 1/3 innings this spring.

Brett Eibner homered twice for the Royals, including a two-run shot in the ninth to tie it.
