Nationals Make History With Three 200-Strikeout Starters 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Sep 3, 2019 11:52 am

The Washington Nationals joined a short list on Sunday when Patrick Corbin recorded his 200th strikeout of the season.

Corbin is the third member of Washington\'s rotation to reach 200 Ks this season, joining Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg.

The only National League team to ever accomplish what the Nationals did was the 1969 Houston Astros, behind the trio of Larry Dierker, Tom Griffin, and Don Wilson.

Four American League squads have had at least three pitchers record 200 or more strikeouts.
