Yankees' pitchers set single-season franchise record with 1,319 strikeouts

Despite lengthy injuries to the majority of the rotation, the New York Yankees still managed to set a single-season franchise record with 1,319 strikeouts. 

Closer David Robertson fanned Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop with a 84-mph knuckle curve in the ninth inning on Tuesday to surpass the mark set by the 2012 staff. 

Yankees' team leaders in strikeouts this season: 

Masahiro Tanaka and Michael Pineda combined to miss 152 games while CC Sabathia underwent season-ending knee surgery in late July, but the acquisitions of Brandon McCarthy and emergence of rookie Shane Greene helped quell the loss of those starters.
