19 – 3 is even purtier as Kershaw catches Orel

On Sept 9th, I took a look at how Clayton Kershaw’s 18 – 3 record stacked up  winning percentage wise in LA Dodger history. With the win this last Sunday that purty 18 – 3 is now 19 -3,  and Clayton has tied Orel Hershiser for the best winning % in LA Dodger history for pitchers who have made at least 20 starts in a season. Clayton has two more starts to change how his historic season will stand.
