Boston Red Sox at Los Angeles Angels

It's official: No relief pitcher in Major League Baseball history has more strikeouts than Aroldis Chapman. The veteran Boston Red Sox closer fanned the Angels' Denzer Guzman leading off the ninth inning Friday night at Angel Stadium for career strikeout No. 1,364, breaking Hall of Famer Hoyt Wilhelm’s all-time record for a relief pitcher. After securing the milestone, the 38-year-old left-hander induced a game-ending double play to lock down a 5-2 Boston victory and secure his 17th save of the season. Inside the visitors’ clubhouse, the Red Sox briefly paused their postgame routine to gather around the TV. Chapman’s teammates had put together a custom highlight reel celebrating his 16-year journey from his big league debut to becoming a record-holder. "I feel very happy, very proud of what I've been able to accomplish," Chapman said through an interpreter. "I was just focused on doing the job day in and day out. ... I try to stay positive throughout, keep a positive mindset and know that when God wants it to happen, it's going to happen. God wanted it to happen today." * These relievers have the most strikeouts in MLB history
