In case you missed it earlier late last night Blake Snell struck out 15 Rockies in six innings.
It was one of the most dominating pitching performances I've seen in a couple of years, and that includes Dylan Cease's no hitter from last week if that's possible.
Snell was lights out electric.
Think about it, 18 outs, 15 of them were strikeouts, that's insane.

Giants 4-1 Rockies (Jul 27, 2024) Box Score - ESPN
Take it from me, lefties are lethal when they bring their 'A' game, especially Cy Young lefties.
Lefties with real live arms are hard to come by, Cy Young lefties are rare as unicorns.
I was curious so I looked up, the only pitchers ever to strike out 15 in six innings are:
David Cone
Roger Clemens
Randy Johnson
That's it.
