It took 100 pitches and six innings, but Kershaw finally notched the three strikeouts the Dodgers left-hander needed.

Kershaw notched strikeout No. 3000 with a sixth inning punchout of White Sox third baseman Vinny Capra. The Dodgers later won the game on a walk-off single by first baseman Freddie Freeman.

Everything was pretty close to perfect for the White Sox over eight innings Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium before the Dodgers turned things into another perfect day in Los Angeles with three runs in the ninth for a 5-4 victory.
