He had six strikeouts on the day, pushing his season total to 199, best in the National League. Which brings us to Thursday's tweet of the day:

Kershaw has pledged $100 per strikeout this season to help raise money to build an orphanage in Zambia, where Kershaw and his wife Ellen visited during last winter. To date, Kershaw's Challenge has raised $19,900, and figures to add a few thousand more dollars before the year is done.
