Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw inched closer to 3,000 career strikeouts on Thursday, fanning five in six innings against the Colorado Rockies.

The Rockies slid to 8-32 at home and 18-63 at the midway point of the season. At this pace, they’ll finish 36-126, establishing a dubious record for the most losses in a season during the modern era. The Chicago White Sox lost a record 121 games last season.
