Clayton Kershaw surpassed Don Sutton becoming the Los Angeles Dodgers’ all-time strikeout leader with 2,700 during Saturday night’s game at Dodgers Stadium.

Kershaw pitched six innings striking out, while giving up one run on four hits and two walks. Kershaw was relieved with the game tied at 1, but the Dodgers would eventually lose to the Detroit Tigers 5–1.
