With Zack Greinke fanning 13 batters during his five-inning outing and the bullpen adding another seven, the Angels’ staff combines for 20 strikeouts in the team’s 5-4 victory over Seattle, tying the record for the most ever recorded in a nine-inning game. The Anaheim starter’s performance makes him the first hurler since 1920 to whiff 13 opponents in an outing that lasts less than six innings.

The Atlanta Braves clinch a spot in the postseason as one of the National League’s two wild cards with a 4 – 3 win over the Marlins on Freddie Freeman’s two-run homer off Mike Dunn in the bottom of the 9th. The game also marks the 22nd consecutive start by Kris Medlen which the Braves have won, matching a record set by two Hall of Famers: Carl Hubbell in 1936-1937 and Whitey Ford, whose streak lasted from 1950 to Yankees, with a two-year interruption for military service.

The Angels tie a major league record by striking out 20 opponents in a 5 – 4 win over the Mariners. Zack Greinke starts things off by fanning 13 in 5 innings, tying a modern record, and relievers Garrett Richards, Kevin Jepsen and Ernesto Frieri add seven more over the last four frames.
