Clayton Kershaw pitched seven perfect innings for the Los Angeles Dodgers before Luis Rengifo broke up his bid with a leadoff double in the eighth for the Los Angeles Angels.
Kershaw needed just 71 pitches to retire the first 21 consecutive batters at Angel Stadium on Friday night, but Rengifo ended Kershaw's quest for his second no-hitter and first perfect game with a clean double down the left field line.
Sandy Koufax threw the only perfect game in Dodgers history on Sept. 9, 1965. Only 23 perfect games have been thrown in major league history. Kershaw began the night 6-2 with a 2.40 ERA in 11 appearances for the Dodgers. In his most recent start, he earned his 191st career victory and passed Dazzy Vance for third place on the Dodgers' career list.
Kershaw threw his only no-hitter on June 18, 2014, against the Colorado Rockies. He struck out a career-high 15 and allowed his only baserunner on Hanley Ramirez's error in the seventh inning.
