What is the major league baseball record for most combined strikeouts by both teams in a nine inning game?

Answer 1

31, by Texas (18) at Seattle (13), 13-July-1997. Rangers won the game, 4-2. Amazingly, no one batter had more than three whiffs. Randy Johnson (no surprise seeing him involved) rang up 14 his own self.
