Lefty Misses National Mark For Strikeouts
Lefty pitcher Kofax defeated Philadelphia 2 to 0 Monday night with a strikeout spree that fell just short of the National League record. It was the last day of May when the rookie lefty earned his first victory as Elo added his fourth straight win while fanning 16. The performance stood as a major league night-game record, topping the previous NL mark of 14 held by Vander Meer, Jones, Feller, and Purley, and just one shy of Dizzy Dean’s 1993 NL mark. Poller’s 1938 major league total of 24 strikeouts in a game was tied by Clevehind, Losey Jin Owens, and Humberto Robisson for an era record by multiple clubs.
