Clayton Kershaw became the Dodgers' all-time strikeouts leader, passing Don Sutton's 43-year-old mark in the fourth inning of a 5-1 loss to the Tigers.
The Dodgers thought they were getting a steal when they signed Trevor Bauer. Instead, the deal ended up as one of the worst in the history of a franchise.“Not a great game,” Kershaw said. “I wish we would have won. But it was a great moment for me personally. And I’ll remember that for a while for sure.”
Sutton averaged more than 238 innings in 16 seasons with the Dodgers, a number Kershaw has never reached. And the Dodgers as a team haven’t matched Sutton’s shutout total since Kershaw entered the majors in 2008.Clayton Kershaw could break Don Sutton’s Dodgers record with four strikeouts Saturday against Detroit. He sees the milestone as ‘really cool.’
But those numbers don’t tell the whole story, said Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman, who contributed nine strikeouts to Kershaw’s total while with the Atlanta Braves.
