Watch Clayton Kershaw celebrate his first career no-hitter

Watch Clayton Kershaw complete his first no-hitter

On Wednesday night, two-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw pitched his first career no-hitter. The lefty's dominant outing was the second no-no of the year and the 22nd in Dodgers history.

Pretty fitting, right?

Kershaw completed the game with a career-high 15 strikeouts -- a number topped only by Nolan Ryan, who managed to surpass the mark in two of his seven career no-hitters.

That 15th strikeout came when Kershaw fanned Corey Dickerson for the final out of the game:

But don't think that things got too calm. The celebrations continued well off of the field and into the locker room: 

After the game, Ellen Kershaw still hadn't relaxed, saying it felt like she and her no-hitter-throwing husband were "living in this dream."  

The last time the Dodgers had two no-hitters in one season was in 1956, when Carl Erskine and Sal Maglie wrote their names into the history books while the team was still in Brooklyn.

The first no-hitter of 2014 belonged to Kershaw's teammate Josh Beckett. Perhaps this year the team will stick to its current rate of one no-no per month -- that leaves July, August and September for Greinke, Ryu and Haren each to make their bid for history.
