Clayton Kershaw delivered a sparkling performance for the Dodgers on Thursday — some might even call it vintage. The 32-year-old ace tossed 7 innings in Seattle, allowing one run while striking out 11 Mariners. Along the way, Kersh passed Hall of Famer Don Drysdale for second on the Dodgers all-time strikeout list.
Even though he cemented himself further into the lore of the legendary franchise, the accomplishment doesn’t have him ready to rest on his laurels. In fact, thanks to his fastball renaissance, he seems even further from hanging up his spikes.
“Your stuff sometimes comes and goes,” said Kershaw.
