Oakland Athletics Frankie Montas struck out 13 Seattle Mariners in six innings on the final game of the 2020 regular season on September 27, a 6-2 A’s victory. He had an impressive 19 first-pitch strikes and gave up just two unearned runs. But he earned the starting pitcher’s hated result: a no-decision.
It was the most strikeouts by an Oakland starting pitcher since Todd Stottlemyer fanned 15 in 1995.
