The milestone came on his 100th pitch of the game, a slider that froze Chicago White Sox third baseman Vinny Capra for a called third strike to end the sixth inning.</p><p>Kershaw is now part of an elite group that includes fellow lefties Randy Johnson, CC Sabathia, and Steve Carlton. The 37-year-old is also only the third pitcher to reach 3,000 strikeouts while spending his entire career with one team, joining legends Walter Johnson (Senators) and Bob Gibson (Cardinals).</p><p>It’s a moment that Freddie Freeman <a href="https://x.com/SportsNetLA/status/1940642954982707607" rel="noopener">called special</a>, punctuated by <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-freddie-freeman-hero-la-comeback-white-sox-walk-off-hit">his own walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth</a> to give the Dodgers a 5-4 victory over the White Sox and a series win.</p><p>“For Clayton to do it here, 3,000 strikeouts, we might never see that again… we got to witness history and we got him a win out of it too,” Freeman said postgame.</p><p>Kershaw entered the night needing just three strikeouts. He struck out Miguel Vargas in the third and Lenyn Sosa in the fifth, both on curveballs. The 3,000th came after Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy had to leave the game with a leg injury, adding emotional weight to an already historic frame. The milestone strikeout was also the 251st caught by Dodgers catcher Will Smith.</p><p>Clayton Kershaw’s achievement prompted a six-minute in-game delay, which included a tribute video. After recording the strikeout, he removed his cap, waved to the crowd and his family in the stands, patted his chest, and mouthed “Thank you” as fans erupted.</p><p>Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said before the game, “It’s the last box for Clayton to check in his tremendous career.”</p><p>Now in his 18th season, Kershaw has built a Hall of Fame resume with three Cy Young Awards, the 2014 NL MVP, two World Series championships, and eight All-Star selections. His 2014 season remains iconic: a 21-3 record, 1.77 ERA, and 233 strikeouts. Coming into Wednesday’s game, Kershaw had posted a 4-0 record with a 3.03 ERA over eight starts, even as his fastball velocity hovers near 90 mph.</p><p>Kershaw’s 3,000th strikeout comes at a time when such milestones are becoming increasingly rare. Among active players, only Justin Verlander (3,468) and Max Scherzer (3,412) have surpassed that mark. The next closest are Chris Sale (2,528) and Gerrit Cole (2,254), both in their mid-30s and battling injury concerns.</p><p>The left-hander’s feat is a symbol of sustained excellence in a game where long-term dominance is vanishing. As manager Dave Roberts noted, “He’s going to will himself to doing whatever the team needs.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Even a 4-2 deficit in the ninth inning wasn’t enough to keep Dave Roberts and company out of the win column as the defending champs rallied to pick up a 5-4 victory.</p><p>In the end, it was Freddie Freeman who came up with the big hit to seal the deal. After Shohei Ohtani stole second base to get into scoring position, Freeman <a href="https://x.com/MLB/status/1940637811654423013" rel="noopener">ripped a two-out walk-off base hit</a> into right field to drive him in and give the Dodgers the win.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">FREDDIE FREEMAN WALK-OFF 💥<br>CLAYTON KERSHAW'S 3,000TH STRIKEOUT 🔥<br>WHAT AN EPIC GAME IN LOS ANGELES 🤯 <a href="https://t.co/CJyp1sYCbB">pic.twitter.com/CJyp1sYCbB</a></p><p>— MLB (@MLB) <a href="https://twitter.com/MLB/status/1940637811654423013?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 3, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The big moment capped off what was certainly a great day for the reigning World Series MVP. Freeman was selected as the starter at first base for the National League in the All-Star Game this month, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/elly-de-la-cruz-pete-alonso-headline-biggest-2025-mlb-all-star-game-starter-snubs">edging out New York Mets star Pete Alonso</a>.</p><p>Just hours after the selection was announced, Freemans showed up to the ballpark and had himself a day. He finished the game 2-for-5 with a pair of singles and the final RBI of the night for the Dodgers, proving to be a pivotal one.</p><p>Los Angeles started its rally in the ninth inning with a single by Michael Conforto and a pair of walks from Tommy Edman and Hyeseong Kim to load the bases with nobody out, trailing by just two runs. Ohtani cut the deficit in half by grounding into a fielder’s choice before Mookie Betts tied the game with a sacrifice fly.</p><p>After Will Smith drew a clutch walk from 0-2 down in the count, it was Freeman’s time to shine. He was aggressive, swinging at the first pitch and sending it to the outfield for the game-winner.</p><p>It will feel extra good for the Dodgers to get a win on the same night where legendary pitcher <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/dodgers-news-clayton-kershaw-3000-strikeouts">Clayton Kershaw eclipsed 3,000 strikeouts</a> for his career, becoming just the 20th pitcher in Major League history to do so.</p><p>Freeman won’t be alone in Dodger Blue in the National League starting lineup, as he will be joined by a pair of teammates. Ohtani was selected as a starter as the designated hitter and Smith got the nod as the starting catcher, so the defending champions will be well-represented at the Midsummer Classic.</p><p>It’s only fitting that when it came down to it on selection day, all three played a hand in a big ninth-inning comeback for Los Angeles. In the end, it was no surprise to see Freeman as the hero once again.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, the Royals didn’t go quietly, loading the bases in the bottom of the ninth inning against closer Tanner Scott. But a slick defensive play by <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-freddie-freeman-seals-win-royals-web-gem">Freddie Freeman sealed the win</a> and got Scott out of a jam.</p><p>After the victory, Scott <a href="https://x.com/SportsNetLA/status/1938811646673330343?t=MF5k29JrITd-UEsYyNb1vA&amp;s=19" rel="noopener">gave credit</a> to Freeman for the game-saving scoop. “Freddie’s pretty good. I mean, he’s got a Gold Glove for a reason. So, he’s a special, special player,” Scott said, per SportsNet LA.</p><p>“Baseball’s not easy. Luckily, we got a pretty good defense behind us and that was a sweet double play,” he added.</p><h2><b>Dodgers closer Tanner Scott heating up in June</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Tanner-Scott.jpg"><figcaption>Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Dodgers handed the ball to Scott in the bottom of the ninth inning, calling on the reliever to close out a second straight game. The ninth-year veteran had an uneventful outing Thursday against the Colorado Rockies, picking up his 17th save of the season. But things didn’t go quite as smoothly Friday.</p><p>After striking out Bobby Witt Jr. looking with a 96 mph four-seamer to start the inning, Scott gave up a single to Maikel Garcia. Vinnie Pasquantino worked a walk on four straight pitches outside the zone. Then Salvador Perez singled to right on an 0-2 fastball, loading the bases with only one out.</p><p>As the Royals just needed a sacrifice fly to tie the game, Scott was thinking double play all the way. “Any time there’s a guy on and you’re trying to get outs, double plays are your best friend. You’re trying to get something put on the ground to give our defense a chance,” the Dodgers closer said after the game, via SportsNet LA.</p><p>Facing rookie right fielder Jac Caglianone, Scott started the pivotal at-bat with an 88 mph slider up in the zone. It was the only pitch he’d need as Caglianone slapped a grounder to second. Tommy Edman fielded the ball and flipped it to Mookie Betts, who recorded the out at second base before firing to first where Freeman completed the game-ending double play with a sensational pick on the short hop.</p><p>After making his first career All-Star Game in 2024, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/los-angeles-dodgers/dodgers-news-luxury-tax-payroll-after-tanner-scott-contract-blows-away-phillies-yankees">Dodgers signed Scott to a four-year, $72 million contract</a> during their offseason spending spree. While the 30-year-old reliever has struggled at times in his Dodgers debut, he’s pitched well in June. Scott now has a 1.37 ERA, 8 saves and 14 strikeouts in 13.1 innings this month.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
