Clayton Kershaw became the Dodgers’ career strikeout leader during the fourth inning of tonight’s game against Detroit 👏
Since the start of the live-ball era in 1920, Kershaw has the lowest career ERA and WHIP among starting pitchers with at least 1,500 innings. He is fourth among active players in strikeouts.
“It speaks to longevity and consistency. It’s just going to add to his lore, not only in Dodger but baseball history,” Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts said about the record before the game. “I think that for a fan base that’s followed him his entire career, to ultimately reach this milestone at home, get that ovation and share that with the fans certainly makes it sweeter.”
Kershaw has spent his entire 15-year career in Dodger blue. The three-time Cy Young Award winner signed a one-year deal in March after the lockout ended that could earn him as much as $22 million. Don Drysdale is third on the Dodgers’ career strikeout list with 2,486 and Sandy Koufax is fourth at 2,396. Both of those Hall of Famers began their careers when the Dodgers played in Brooklyn.
