HOUSTON — Dominican left-hander Framber Valdez achieved a significant milestone in his Major League career by reaching the 1,000 strikeouts mark, becoming the 25th Dominican pitcher to achieve it.
In addition to the overall achievement, Valdez joins an even more exclusive group, becoming only the third Dominican left-handed pitcher to reach that figure, along with Francisco Liriano (1,181) and Wandy Rodríguez (1,573).
— Space City Home Network (@SpaceCityHN) July 29, 2025
The milestone came during a brilliant performance on Monday's game, in which Valdez pitched 6.0 innings, allowed only 3 hits, 1 earned run, 2 walks and struck out 12 batters. Despite his dominance, he left without a decision, due to the lack of offensive support at the key moment of the game.
Valdez's outstanding performance
