The record for strikeouts in a Major League game is 21, set by Tom Cheney on September 12, 1962. Cheney pitched 16 innings and broke the previous record of 18, set by Bob Feller. The record for a nine-inning game is 20, first accomplished by Roger Clemens on April 29, 1986; Clemens has since had another 20-strikeout game, and Kerry Wood has also had one. Randy Johnson also struck out 20 batters within the first nine innings of a game, but isn't credited by MLB with being tied for the record because the game went to extra innings after Johnson left.
