The Seattle Mariners are striking out batters like no team ever has in MLB history.
In their recently completed four-game series with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, the Mariners struck out the opposing hitter an astounding 62 times.
There have never been that many pitching strikeouts by one team in a four-game series in MLB history, per Mariners PR.
The stretch started last Thursday with some helpful extra innings action, a 7-6 Mariners win in 12 innings.
That night, starter Bobby Miller struck out 11 in 5.2 innings. Eduard Bazardo added two strikeouts, Matt Brash and Carlos Vargas each had one and then Andres Munoz had two for a single-game total of 17.

The Mariners won 2-1 the following night with 11 team strikeouts. Luis Castillo had five, then Vargas had three, Gabe Speier had one and Munoz had two more.
The Saturday game was a 5-3 Seattle win. Starting pitcher Bryan Woo had 13 strikeouts, then Caleb Ferguson added two and Brash had one.
And in Sunday's dominant series finale win, starter George Kirby had 14 punchouts in 6.1 innings, followed by two apiece from Emerson Hancock and Casey Legumina.
The 62 strikeouts in four games amounts to 15.5 strikeouts per game.
Even in this era, that's amazing, and that's why it's a record.
It's quite futile by the Angels, of course. They were mathematically eliminated from the postseason as part of the four-game sweep.
Meanwhile, the Mariners are 0.5 games up on the Houston Astros in the AL West and would likely make it as a Wild Card team even if the Astros just nip them down the stretch.
If Seattle keeps striking out hitters like this, it'll provide a great chance to keep on winning ballgames.
