16 Ks and 0 walks. Wow. Broke Smoltz's Braves single game strikeout record of 15 and...
That’s not the end of the history Strider made, though. He became the sixth pitcher ever with at least eight innings pitched, at least 16 strikeouts, no more than two hits, and no walks in a single start. The last pitcher to do it was Corey Kluber in 2015. The rest of the list is a who’s-who of dominant modern hurlers: Max Scherzer, Johan Santana, Pedro Martinez and Kerry Wood.
Pretty good for a guy that started the season in the bullpen.
