One of the highlights of his prep career came in the playoffs against Northwest High of Justin, Tex. where Kershaw threw an all-strikeout perfect game and hit a grand slam. Kershaw struck out all 15 batters in a game that was shortened due to the mercy rule.

The Los Angeles Dodgers completed the first of what’s expected to be an estimate six weeks of not having Max Muncy in their lineup as he recovers from a bone bruise in his left knee.

On Wednesday night, Los Angeles Dodgers icon Clayton Kershaw became the 20th pitcher in baseball history to record 3,000 career strikeouts, and only the fourth left-hander. He fanned Vinny Capra of the Chicago White Sox for the milestone strikeout in the top of the sixth.

If there was a Hall of Fame for remembering names, the 37-year-old left-hander would not be a first-ballot inductee.

Clayton Kershaw is on the brink of a major milestone, needing just three strikeouts to reach 3,000 for his career.
