St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Lance Lynn became the 89th pitcher in MLB history—and the sixth active pitcher—to reach the 2,000-strikeout milestone during Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park, but he almost didn't get the historic baseball back.
Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras, after Lynn struck out Pirates infielder Jared Triolo to end the fourth inning, accidentally tossed the milestone ball to a Pirates fan in the stands.
