Martinez nets 3,000th strikeout
CINCINNATI — Pedro Martinez completed his comeback from major shoulder surgery and quickly went into the record books, becoming the 15th pitcher to strike out 3,000 batters in his career.
The New York Mets' right-hander needed only two strikeouts to reach the mark. He reached the mark by getting right-hander Aaron Harang swinging at an 87-mph fastball.
