On August 20, 1974, Nolan Ryan fans 19 Detroit Tigers in an 11-inning loss to Detroit at Anaheim Stadium. Ryan whiffs every Tiger batter at least once, victimizing Ron LeFlore four times. The 19 K’s tie a major league record, held by Steve Carlton. Despite Ryan’s efforts for the Angels, Mickey Lolich goes the distance to win the game, 1-0.
It is the third time the “Ryan Express” has struck out 19 batters in one game this season. Ryan throws a ball clocked at 100.9 miles per hour, making it the fastest pitch ever thrown in major league baseball.
