Sabathia’s strikeout mark
Print Edition
New York Yankees hurler CC Sabathia reached another Major League Baseball milestone on Tuesday, becoming just the 17th pitcher to record 3,000 career strikeouts. Sabathia, 38, reached the landmark with a second-inning strikeout of the Arizona Diamondbacks’ John Ryan Murphy in Phoenix. He joined Randy Johnson (4,875) and Steve Carlton (4,136) as the only left-handed pitchers to reach the 3,000-mark, and became the first pitcher since John Smoltz in 2008 to reach the threshold. Sabathia came into the contest three strikeouts away from 3,000. He struck out David Peralta looking at a sinker to start the second inning, then struck out Christian Walker swinging at a fastball. After surrendering a home run to Wilmer Flores, Sabathia induced Murphy to swing and miss at a changeup to end the inning. Sabathia allowed two home runs and five hits and struck out five before he departed in the sixth inning of a game the Diamondbacks went on to win 3-1.
