Five innings later, Snell walked off the hill to a well-deserved standing ovation after striking out 15 batters in six scoreless innings - the most of his nine-year career and the highest strikeout total by any pitcher this season.
Snell's 15 strikeouts in six innings pitched are the most by a pitcher in six or fewer innings since at least 1901. With 15 of his 18 outs (83.3 percent) coming via strikeout, that marked the highest percentage by any pitcher through six innings in a game in MLB history.
