Unbelievable MLB Strikeout Records That Will Leave You Speechless—Discover Who Dominated the Mound!
Fourteen of those strikeouts came on Sept. 9 when he became the sixth pitcher of the modern era, and eighth overall, to throw a perfect game. It was the fourth no-hitter of Koufax’s big-league career. Koufax and opposing pitcher Bob Hendley of the Chicago Cubs carried no-hitters into the seventh with the only run of the game coming when Dodgers Lou Johnson walked, reached second on a sacrifice, stole third, and then scored on a throwing error by Cubs catcher Chris Krug in the fifth.
Koufax’s record of 14 strikeouts in a perfect game was matched by Matt Cain of the San Francisco Giants in 2012, although the Dodger was able to strikeout an opponent in each inning while Cain fell short in the ninth.
