June 17, 2010 Red Sox 6, Diamondbacks 1

Kevin Youkilis starts it off right with a 3-run homerun in the first inning and a 2-run double in the 8th for Darnell McDonald (after Daniel Nava was walked intentionally to load the bases to get to McDonald) are the big blows as the Sox cruise to the win. Not often that a record-breaking performance happens in the same game in real life, and in SOM. Mark Reynolds strikes out twice to put him over the 100 strikeout mark already on the season. I did a bit of research, and during the real 2010 seaso he became the fastest player to the 100 strikeout mark when he got strikeout number 100 in the 67th game of the year. What is this game? As you can tell with Arizona's record of 32-35, the 67th game of the year - the same game as Reynolds would get the record IRL!
