Dozers left hand -handed Clayton Karshaw became the 20th pitcher in Major League history to register 3,000 career strikes, when he set Vinnie Kepra of Chicago White Sox to end the sixth innings at Los Angeles on Wednesday.
37 -year -old Karshav, Randy Johnson (4,875), Steve Carlton (4,136) and CC Sabathia (3,093) became just a fourth left hand pitcher to reach a milestone to join.
Nolan Ryan is an all-time strike leader in 5,714.
Karash entered the game that required three strikes. In the third innings, he fanned former team partner Miguel Vargas and got Lenin Sosa for the final of the fifth.
After killing Capra, Karshaw went out of the field and took his hat to the house crowd before hugging and hugging his peers. He was his last batsman in the game after throwing 100 pitches season-high.
Max Maxi, the third basman of the doors, left the game with a clear left knee injury, as he Michael A. Taylor tagged a stolen-base attempt, followed by a milestone strike.
Kreshaw is the third active pitcher to reach 3,000 strikes, as it now stands with Justin Verlander (3,471) and Max Shezer (3,419). The scherzer reached 3,000 as a member of the Dojers in September 2021.
Only two other pitches perfectly reached 3,000 with one team: Bob Gibson (St. Louis Cardinals) and Walter Johnson (Washington National).
Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts said before the game, “If you look at the possibilities of doing it with the same team, this way the margin is very rare.” “Dozers loyal can really appreciate that they have been on this trip with Clayton for 18 years, so it’s great.”
In the 440 career performance (437 start), before Wednesday, Karshaw was 216–94 with 2.51 ERA. The 10-bar all-star won the NL Sai Young Awards in 2011, 2013 and 2014, and he was selected NL’s most valuable player in 2014. Karshaw helped the Dozers win the 2020 World Series, but he missed the 2024 Postsen due to injury during the Los Angeles title.
