When Clayton Kershaw made his major league debut as a 20-year-old with a devastating curveball, he was considered a one-in-a-million talent. On Wednesday, he became the 20th pitcher in history to strike out 3,000 batters. The milestone came in the sixth inning against the Chicago White Sox’s Vinny Capra. Kershaw walked off the mound alone before being celebrated by his teammates. The Dodgers honored him with a video of his career highlights.
An hour later, the Dodgers won 5-4 with a walk-off hit by Freddie Freeman. Manager Dave Roberts praised Kershaw's longevity and consistency, calling him one of the greatest pitchers in Dodgers history. Kershaw acknowledged the crowd's support and the pressure to reach the milestone.
The Dodgers rallied in the ninth inning to secure the win, with Kershaw avoiding his first loss of the season. However, the game was marred by an injury to Max Muncy after a collision with Michael Taylor. Muncy's condition is being evaluated.
Kershaw expressed gratitude for joining the exclusive 3,000-strikeout club, calling it an incredible achievement. The game also marked the return of injured pitchers Blake Snell and Blake Treinen to practice.
