There have been three pitchers to strikeout 20 batters in one game and one pitcher to strikeout 21 batters in a game. The three to strikeout 20 were Kerry Wood, Roger Clemens, and Randy Johnson. All three struckout all those batters in a nine inning game. The pitcher to strikeout 21 batters, Tom Cheney, needed 16 innings. Cheney's 21 strikeouts is the MLB record for strikeouts by a pitcher in a single game.
In MLB, that was Tom Cheney of the 1962 Washington Senators.
Cheney struckout 21 Baltimore Orioles in a 16 inning, complete game performance on September 12, 1962 winning 2-1.
Tom Cheney struck out 21 batters on September 12, 1962--he pitched 16 innings in that game (the previous record was 18, set by Bob Feller). The first pitcher to accomplish this in a 9-inning game was Roger Clemens, who struck out 20 on April 29, 1986.
I thought it was the Seattle Pilots. But it turns out I was wrong...On April 29, 1986, Clemens became the first pitcher in history to strike out 20 batters in a nine-inning major league game, against the Seattle Mariners at Fenway Park.
I DO NOT KNOW, HOWEVER I DO KNOW HE STRUCK OUT 10 BATTERS IN A ROW IN A GAME IN 1970....THATS INCREDIBLE.

NO!! As long as the coach wants to leave the pitcher in he can hit everybody.I hit 9 in a game once.

Bob Welch became the only pitcher to post 3 strikeouts of Tony Gwynn in a game on April 14, 1986.
In the 1926 World Series, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Pete Alexander won game 2 by retiring the last 21 Yankee batters.
A single out is enough to get a save. To get a save a pitcher has to record the game ending out, and has to have entered with a lead of 3 runs or fewer, or with the tying run at the plate or on deck. If a pitcher throws the game's final 3 innings he can get the save regardless of how big a lead his team had when he entered.
3. Nolan Ryan's first game in MLB was September 11, 1966 against the Atlanta Braves. He pitched 2 innings and had 3 strikeouts. His first ever MLB strikeout was of Braves' pitcher Pat Jarvis.
The first game in the counter strike series was released in 2000. The exact date of the release of the first version was November first in the year of 2000.
