Clayton Kershaw was an error away from a perfect game. The Dodgers' young left handed star made a bit of history with his 15 strikeouts as well, via LA Times:
"I'll remember this for the rest of my life," Kershaw said.
Never in major league history had a pitcher given up neither a hit nor a walk while striking out 15. The only pitcher with more strikeouts in a no-hitter: Nolan Ryan, the all-time strikeout leader.
As a pitcher whenever your mentioned with
Nolan Ryan you're doing something right. This was the first of probably many no hitters for Kershaw and it was as dominate as they come.
