Clayton Kershaw’s career has so far been spectacular in almost every way manageable.From his sparking W-L record of 84-48 to his remarkable career E.R.A of 2.60. He also has had great success in his postseason starts as well but outside of winning a World series, there was only one other thing missing from his resume: a no hitter. Well, that box got checked off last night as he tossed his first no hitter of his career vs the Rockies last night at Chavez Ravine.

Josh Beckett nearly a year ago was in a battle to even keep his career going. In July of last year, he was suffering a nerve condition that was effecting  his right arm, which in turn was wreaking havoc with his pitching performances. Beckett went 0-5 with a 5.19 ERA in eight games he started last season, a low point in his career. The pain got to the point that he had no feeling in his fingertips and had to have a rib be removed through  thoracic outlet syndrome surgery. Questions about his career and ability to come back from such a surgery were mounting by the day. Through all the pain and questions, Beckett began his road to recovery.
