What happened: The Zack Wheeler milestone came on a first-inning strikeout of the side. The club announced the mark during Tuesday's game.
Why it matters: Only nine other active pitchers have reached 2,000 strikeouts. The 96-member club marks sustained durability at the front of a rotation.
By the numbers: 96th pitcher in MLB history with 2,000 strikeouts; 10th among active pitchers.
What to watch: Wheeler continues climbing the all-time strikeout list with each start.
