Clayton Kershaw Sets Dodgers Franchise Record With Seven Seasons Of At Least 200 Strikeouts

Clayton Kershaw allowed just one run and struck out six over eight innings to help lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to a series win against the San Francisco Giants. His last strikeout was of Gorkys Hernandez, who went down swinging to end the eighth inning.

It gave Kershaw 200 strikeouts, and he became the first Dodgers pitcher to ever produce seven seasons with at least 200 strikeouts. Kershaw was tied with Sandy Koufax (1961-1966) and Don Drysdale (1959-1960, 1962-1965) as the only pitchers in franchise history to have six seasons with a minimum of 200 strikeouts.
