Kershaw's impeccable control lands him in record books

Clayton Kershaw has Major League Baseball under control.

The Los Angeles Dodgers ace stands alone in the record books after striking out pitching counterpart Bartolo Colon on Sunday against the New York Mets.

Kershaw's strikeout of Colon was the 100th of his season, while he's only recorded five walks, meaning the southpaw has allowed the fewest walks at the time of his 100th strikeout in the modern era, according to ESPN Stats & Info.

Kershaw, who entered Sunday with a league-leading 0.68 WHIP, is also chasing Pedro Martinez's all-time mark of 0.74, set in 2000.
