Kershaw, having notched 2,999 in the top of the fifth inning against the White Sox, etched his name into the history books when he punched out Vinny Capra on a backdoor slider to close out the sixth.
The southpaw walked back to the third base dugout with the Dodger Stadium crowd on its feet, with Kershaw tipping his cap, waving to the fans and getting hugs from his Los Angeles teammates.
He became just the third active pitcher to reach the milestone, joining Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer.
Only three other lefties have accomplished the feat — CC Sabathia, Steve Carlton and Randy Johnson.
