10. Kershaw throws a No-No

When fans look back at the past decade it can be no doubt that the face of the Los Angeles Dodgers franchise was pitcher Clayton Kershaw. Over the decade Kershaw would lead the National League in wins and strikeouts, and all of baseball in ERA.

Over a four year period from 2011 to 2014 Kershaw would win a pitching Triple Crown, lead Major League Baseball in ERA four straight years, and won 20 games twice a feat no Dodger had accomplished since Bill SInger had his second 20 win season in 1972.

On June 18th, 2014 Kershaw provided one of the great moments of the decade pitching his first and so far only no-hitter of his career. Facing the Colorado Rockies, Kershaw threw nine no-hit innings striking out a career-high 15 batters and had it not been for a Hanley Ramirez error in the seventh Kershaw would have had a perfect game as he allowed zero walks.

By season end Kershaw would collect his third CY Young and become the fourth pitcher in franchise history to win league MVP.
