Anibal Sanchez struck out 17 batters on Friday night, spurring talk that the Detroit Tigers could break the Major League Baseball record for team strikeouts in a season.

The 2003 Chicago Cubs struck out 1,404 batters.

Through 21 games this season, the Tigers have 211 strikeouts, which is a hair more than 10 per game and puts them on pace to shatter the record with 1,628.
