Clayton Kershaw etched his name in baseball history on Wednesday night, becoming the 20th pitcher to reach 3,000 career strikeouts, striking out Vinny Capra looking on a slider in the sixth inning. Despite a less-than-perfect performance, Kershaw expressed gratitude for the milestone and the support from his teammates and fans at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers rallied late, scoring three runs in the ninth inning to secure a 5-4 victory against the Chicago White Sox, spoiling an impressive outing from White Sox pitcher Sean Burke.

Chicago led until the ninth, thanks to timely hitting from Austin Slater and pitching from Grant Taylor. However, the Dodgers, led by Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, showcased their resilience, demonstrating the championship mentality that has defined their season. The White Sox fell to 5-21 in one-run games, highlighting their struggles this season.
