• Behind Clayton Kershaw's eight innings of three-hit baseball, the Dodgers blanked the Nationals, 3-0. Kershaw fanned eight in the game, and he has 205 strikeouts for the season. Kershaw's six 200-strikeout seasons are tied for the most in history for any player through his age-27 season. Walter Johnson, fellow southpaw Sam McDowell and Bert Blyleven were the others to do this. Kershaw has fanned at least 200 in each of the past six seasons. He and Sandy Koufax are the only two Dodgers pitchers to have six straight. The 2014 NL MVP Award winner and NL Cy Young Award winner's tally of 1,650 career strikeouts ties him with Mathewson for the eighth highest for any pitcher through his age-27 season.
