On June 14, 1974, Nolan Ryan of the California Angels throws 235 pitches and strikes out 19 batters in a 13-inning stint against the Boston Red Sox. Ryanâs victims include Cecil Cooper, who fans a total of six times. Although the Angels eventually win the game in 15 innings, Ryan settles for a no-decision. Â The right-handerâs performance will be the first of three 19-strikeout outings the Texan throws this season.
Barry Raziano is the winner in two innings of relief and Luis Tiant takes the loss in 14 1/3 innings, after Denny Doyle doubles home Mickey Rivers with the winning run.
