In addition to those three Cy Young trophies, Kershaw has been named a National League All-Star in each of the past seven seasons. He finished runner-up for the National League Cy Young Award last year after compiling an 18-4 record and 2.31 ERA (45 ER/175.0 IP), adding 202 strikeouts compared to just 30 walks. The lefty also faced the Storm Chasers last year in Oklahoma City on August 26, a game which Omaha won 4-0.
This season he has posted a 1-4 mark and 2.76 ERA (15 ER/49.0 IP), adding 53 strikeouts to 11 walks. He was placed on the Disabled List by the Dodgers on June 1 with lower back discomfort, and last pitched in a Major League game on May 31 versus Philadelphia.
