Clayton Kershaw took a routine Wednesday night start against the Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium and made history by throwing his first career no-hitter on June 18, 2014.
A Yasiel Puig sacrifice fly and Matt Kemp RBI single spotted Kershaw a 2-0 lead heading into the second inning. He struck out the first two batters and got a groundout. Kershaw struck out two more batters in the third to give him five strikeouts on the night up to that point.
With the Los Angeles Dodgers taking a 7-0 lead in the bottom of the third, a victory was all but assured given how well their left-handed ace was pitching that season.
