At Bank One Ballpark, the Diamondbacks’ 40-year old fireballer Randy Johnson records his 4,000th career strikeout whiffing Padres third baseman Jeff Cirillo, a fellow USC Trojan, to become the fourth player in major league history to reach the plateau. The “Big Unit” needs fewer innings (3,237 1/3) than Nolan Ryan (3,844 2/3), Roger Clemens (4,151) or Steve Carlton (4,991 1/3) to accomplish the feat.
