2-Time National League Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw finally did what everyone knew he was capable of. Pitching a no-hitter for Kershaw came at ease throwing only 107 pitches and striking out 15 batters. He struck out more than half the batters he faced, fanning 15 of the total 28 batters. There was only one thing that stood in the way of him and a perfect game, Hanley Ramirez. In the 7th inning a bloop ground ball was hit to the star shortstop and the play should have been a routine out. Ramirez fielded the ball and tossed over to the first baseman and the throw was way out of Adrian Gonzalez’s reach, ultimately this play ended Kershaw’s perfect game bid. Aside from the disruption of the perfect game and the no-no by Kershaw, it was a very successful game by the Dodgers. They beat the Colorado Rockies 8-0, which is a big surprise considering how dominant the Rockies hitting has been this season. Congratulations to Mr. Kershaw on his first career no-hitter and I think it is safe to say that this will not be his only no-hitter.
