In is what was surprisingly one of his better outings this season. Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw held the Colorado Rockies to three runs on four hits over 6 2/3 innings to earn the 100th victory of his already storied and heavily decorated career. It's a surprise, because while effective and at times dominant, he still wasn't the Kershaw we've come to expect. The 10 strikeouts were encouraging. The three walks were not, and neither was his inability to put the struggling Rockies away in the seventh inning. It actually hasn't been vintage Kershaw for awhile now, which is one of the many reasons he's needed five chances to notch this 100th victory. But he's over the hump now and officially on the road to his next 100. Though obviously far from the first or the fastest to reach triple-digit victories, it's still a big deal and perhaps even further validation of his position as the best pitcher in baseball dating back to 2012. Of course, as with any milestone, it also leads people to immediately wonder just how high the number can go before Kershaw ultimately walks away from baseball, hopefully another 10 or 12 years down the road. Is his ceiling 200 wins? 250? Will...
