Clayton Kershaw made history at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday night, striking out Vinny Capra of the Chicago White Sox to become the 20th pitcher in MLB history to reach 3,000 strikeouts, and just the third to do so while playing his entire career with one team. Although Kershaw faced challenges throughout the game and expressed his dissatisfaction with his performance, he achieved this milestone on pitch number 100, leading the Dodgers to a comeback win against the White Sox, thanks to Freddie Freeman's walk-off hit.

At 37 years old, Kershaw's journey has been marred by injuries, yet his resilience is commendable. Manager Dave Roberts showed trust in Kershaw, allowing him the chance to achieve this remarkable feat despite an up-and-down performance. Kershaw joined elite company with Walter Johnson and Bob Gibson, further solidifying his legacy as one of the game's greatest pitchers. This rare milestone is a reminder of the evolving nature of pitching in baseball, where complete games and individual accolades like Kershaw's are becoming increasingly rare.
