 Kershaw, who is a two-time Cy Young Award winner, added another
milestone to his resume on a night he threw 107 pitches and did not

It is the second no-hitter by a Dodgers pitcher this season after
Josh Beckett achieved one against the Philadelphia Phillies on May

'Someday I'll teach you how to do that'," Kershaw told reporters.
"You always think about winning a World Series or being a part of
that.

"As far as individual stuff goes, though, this ranks up there.
Pretty cool."
