deGrom, Kershaw K-fest makes MLB history

When deGrom fanned Adrian Gonzalez in the bottom of the sixth, he and Kershaw became the first players to record 11 strikeouts in the same game in postseason history. Mort Cooper and Denny Galehouse recorded 12 and 10 K's, respectively, in Game 5 of the 1944 World Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and the St. Louis Browns, marking the only previous time that two pitchers had reached double figures.
