On June 6, at AT&T Park, in a 2-1 Win over the Florida Marlins, Schmidt pitched a complete game and struck out a career-high 16 batters. The game included a ninth-inning wild pitch that moved base runners to second and third with no outs. Schmidt struck out the final three batters of the game, starting with cleanup hitter Miguel Cabrera, Josh Willingham and Jeremy Hermida. Not only did he tie the franchise all-time single-game strikeouts record originally set by Christy Mathewson of the New York Giants on October 3, , against the St. Louis Cardinals, but he also surpassed Gaylord Perry's San Francisco Giants single-game strikeouts record, when Perry struck out 15 batters on July 22, , against the Philadelphia Phillies. In addition, he set AT&T Park's individual single-game strikeout record in the short history of the ballpark.
