Los Angeles Dodgers star Clayton Kershaw became the second-quickest pitcher to reach 2,000 MLB career strikeouts when he punched out four batters in the first two innings against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 29-year-old Kershaw is behind only Johnson and Pedro Martinez in innings pitched before recording 2,000 strikeouts. Brewers second baseman Jonathan Villar was the victim of strikeout number 2,000 for Kershaw, who is also a three-time NL Cy Young Award winner and Gold Glove recipient.
