He reached the milestone by getting Michael Chavis out on called strikes in the second inning of the Mariners’ Saturday afternoon matinee against the Red Sox at Fenway Park. Hernandez then struck out Jackie Bradley Jr. swinging in the following at-bat for 2,501.
Hernandez was pulled in the third, allowing seven runs on six hits in 2 1/3 innings.

He also is only the fourth active pitcher with at least 2,500 strikeouts, along with CC Sabathia (3,007), Justin Verlander (2,766) and Max Scherzer (2,521).
The 15-year veteran recorded his first career strikeout in his Major League debut on Aug. 4, 2005.
