Texas Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom earned his 1,900th career strikeout in the first inning in a 3-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday, becoming the second-fastest pitcher to that milestone by games and innings.
Seiya Suzuki struck out swinging on a 91.3-mph slider to end the first inning after Moisés Ballesteros swung and missed on a 98.1-mph fastball, and deGrom went on to tie his season high for strikeouts with 10.
