Strikeout record
John Hiller's 6 consecutive strikeouts in 1968 was NOT a major league record, as our article stated in both the lede and body until just now. The record had been 8 for over a decade. As our source clarifies, 6 was the record to start off a game, a rather significant distinction. -Elmer Clark (talk) 05:49, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

Earned run average
The article states that Hiller won the 1973 American League ERA title, and that his Adjusted ERA+ in 1973 is the third-best figure in Major League Baseball history. However, Major League Baseball rules clearly state that in order to qualify for the league lead in ERA, you must average a minimum of one inning per game your team has played (162 in a normal, uninterrupted season), and Hiller "only" pitched 125 innings during his stellar 1973 season. Baseball-Reference does not list Hiller as the 1973 AL ERA champion, nor is he listed on the leaderboard of best Adjusted ERA+ seasons. 209.90.140.72 (talk) 02:02, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
