Add another accomplishment to Clayton Kershaw's growing collection, this one of a historical nature.

When the Dodgers' staff ace struck out his fifth batter Sunday night against the Mets, it gave him 100 strikeouts with just five walks. It is the first time in modern history a pitcher has reached the 100-strikeout plateau with only five walks.

Carlos Beltran belted career home run No. 400 on Sunday afternoon, which put the Yankees slugger in some rare company.

The 39-year-old became the 54th player in major league history to reach that milestone and just the fourth switch-hitter. He joined fellow Yankee Mickey Mantle, Eddie Murray and Chipper Jones.

"It's a great accomplishment," Beltran said. "You mention three great players, and just to be next to them, it motivates me to continue, to finish my career strong and just see what I'm capable of doing."

Nationals starter Max Scherzer reminded us Wednesday that he's one of the premier pitchers in the game.

Facing the Detroit Tigers, his former team and the only one he'd never beaten, Scherzer fanned 20 batters, tying the major league record for most strikeouts in a nine-inning game.

Nationals star Bryce Harper set a Major League Baseball record on Sunday in a 13-inning loss to the Cubs by reaching base seven times without an official at-bat, according to Elias Sports Bureau research.

Harper matched the major league record for walks in a game with six, most recently done by Jeff Bagwell in 1999. Harper was hit by a pitch the other time he came to the plate.

Bartolo Colon slugged the Mets to a 6-3 victory against the Padres on Saturday at Petco Park.

Yoenis Cespedes and Colon each delivered two-run homers against right-hander James Shields as the Mets built a 4-0 lead. Jon Jay answered with a three-run shot against Colon in the third, but the Mets held on to snap a modest two-game losing streak. 

Colon (42 years, 349 days) became the oldest player ever to produce his first career home run. He unseated Randy Johnson, whose lone major league homer came at age 40 years, 9 days old with the Diamondbacks in 2003.
