Reds’ Chapman sets record

Cincinnati Reds reliever Aroldis Chapman set a major league record Sunday for the fastest to reach 500 strikeouts.

Chapman, who routinely throws 100 mph, reached the mark by striking out pinch- hitter Giovanny Urshela to end the 10th inning in Cincinnati’s 5- 3, 11- inning loss to Cleveland.

Here ached the milestone in 292 innings. The previous mark was by San Diego’s Craig Kimbrel, who got it in his 305th inning May 25.
