Chris Sale added another milestone to his Hall of Fame resume.
The reigning National League Cy Young winner became the fastest pitcher in major-league history to reach the 2,500-strikeout milestone, breaking the record previously held by Hall of Famer Randy Johnson.
On his final pitch Thursday night, Sale struck out Edmundo Sosa of the Philadelphia Phillies to end the sixth inning for his 2,500th victim. The Atlanta Braves left-hander reached the milestone in 2,026 innings, besting Johnson's record of 2,107 u2154 innings in 1999.
In doing so, Sale also became the 38th pitcher in modern history to reach the milestone.
