Max Scherzer and Clayton Kershaw first matched up on Sept. 7, 2008. Seventeen years later, the legends faced off for the fifth time in their storied careers, with Kershaw’s Los Angeles Dodgers besting Scherzer’s Toronto Blue Jays at Dodger Stadium, 5-1. They’re the first hurlers ever to start against each other as rookies, then go on to each record 3,000 career strikeouts.
