You could feel the excitement in the air around Dodger Stadium on Saturday night. Dodgers fans knew exactly what was on the line, and they were sure they were about to witness history with Clayton Kershaw on the mound.
And in the 4th inning, Kershaw gave them history. He got Spencer Torkelson to chase on a slider down and in for the 2697th punchout of his illustrious career. And every single fan in attendance knew what had just happened. The crowd erupted and Kersh stepped off of the mound to tip his cap right back to the fans.
