History Was Made at Dodger Stadium Last Night (Plus a Lakers Update)...

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw achieved his 3,000th career strikeout on July 2, 2025...against the Chicago White Sox's Vinny Capra.

Congrats to Clayton Kershaw for achieving his 3,000th career strikeout in the Dodgers' 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox yesterday! The left-handed pitcher and 2-time World Series champion accomplished the feat at the top of the 6th inning...striking out White Sox baseman Vinny Capra and becoming the 20th player in the history of Major League Baseball to reach 3,000 strikeouts.

In other Los Angeles sports news, the Lakers acquired center Deandre Ayton from the Portland Trail Blazers in a 2-year deal worth $16.6 million. Ayton will earn a total of $33.7 million next season since he is also owed $25.6 million from the Portland buyout.

The bottom line is, the Lakers have their new big man! We'll see how Ayton does playing with Luka Doncic and LeBron James (who recently opted in for $52.6 million next season...LeBron's 23rd in the NBA) this coming fall. Stay tuned!
