Clayton Kershaw Throw's A No-Hitter That's Close To Perfection

The best pitcher in baseball threw his first no hitter.
 

 Wednesday night Clayton Kesrshaw dominated the Colorado Rockies striking out 15 on 107 pitches and no walks.

Why no perfect game for Kershaw, Hanley Ramirez committed a throwing error in the seventh inning.

"I will remember this for the rest of my life." Kershaw said.

The thing about it, all the guys sit and watch, and you listen to them and they say nobody deserves this more than him" Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said.   "He works hard every day. He does everything right. He's a great teammate. The two Cy Youngs don't even get in the way. It's just so nice to watch someone like that get it."

As far as individual games go this is pretty special." Kershaw said. "

Don't know if this will ever sink in. What an amazing night. Thankful to celebrate with the fans in LA.
