Kershaw Reaches Milestone Amid Roaring Home Crowd
The 37-year-old lefty Clayton Kershaw leaves the mound to a 53,536-strong sellout crowd, salute wife Ellen and four children, and join Verlander and Scherzer as active peers with 2,999 career strikeouts. Manager Dave Roberts shielded him for a home milestone, while Chicago’s offense built a 4-2 lead before the Dodgers mounted late support. Capra’s brief at bat ended Kershaw’s night with his 100th pitch.

Guardians fall as Cubs win behind timely hitting and relief
Lefty Joey Cantillo filled in for Luis Castillo and pitched well, but Chicago’s bullpen and timely hits carried the Cubs to a win. Chris Flexen earned the decision with a perfect 10th inning as NL Central-leading Chicago moved to 52-35, four games ahead of Milwaukee. Steven Kwan and a CA light lineup were stymied, while Cleveland’s skid continued with a 9-19 mark since June 1.
