Los Angeles Dodgers left-handed starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw admits how difficult it was for him to reach 3,000 career strikeouts on Wednesday night.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw has accomplished just about everything a baseball player could hope for in his 18-year career. He's a two-time World Series Champion, an MVP, a three-time Cy Young Award winner, a 10-time All-Star, and now, as his career enters its twilight, he added yet another accolade to the long list.

On Wednesday night, Los Angeles Dodgers icon Clayton Kershaw became the 20th pitcher in baseball history to record 3,000 career strikeouts, and only the fourth left-hander. He fanned Vinny Capra of the Chicago White Sox for the milestone strikeout in the top of the sixth.
