Last night, Clayton Kershaw further cemented his place in Dodgers history. After striking out the Detroit Tigers Spencer Torkelson in the fourth inning with a filthy slider, Kershaw became the Dodgers franchise all-time strikeout leader (2,697) – passing fellow Dodgers legend Don Sutton (2,696).
In case you missed it, don’t worry, Dodgers Nation has you covered.
The sellout crowd at Dodger Stadium gave the lefty a standing ovation after his accomplishment. Kershaw removed his hate, saluted the crowd, and gave a small first pump to show his appreciation to his adoring fans.
His wife Ellen, along with his kids, cheered him on from the stands as the crowd continued to roar.
