In 1997, Pedro Martinez became the first player in Major League Baseball history to do what? (As per ususal, it's gotta be "what I'm thinking of...")

Comments:
I'll go with "Post an ERA+ over 200 while qualifying for the ERA title" , but I suspect that's not what you're looking for.
 
Win the Cy Young award as an Expo.
 
No and no.

I've got a helpful clue but I'm not givin' it out yet...
 
Became the first pitcher for a Canadian team to beat the other Canadian team.
 
1st Dominican-born Cy Young Award winner?
 
pweezil got basically what I was going for.

I was thinking, "first pitcher to record a strikeout in an official game between two non-USA teams." June 30th, 1997, Montreal at Toronto. But he also was the first pitcher to win a game in the same situation, as he won that day.

The other three guessers get a half-point:

pweezil: 4.5
AJM: 0.5
Ryan: 0.5
Mike: 0.5
