The hefty lefty struck out 15 in 6 no-hit innings for Single A Lynchburg.

According to MLB.com’s Jesús Cano, Wilkinson became the fifth Minor League pitcher since 2005 to strike out at least 15 while not allowing a hit. Additionally, he joined MLB pitchers Warren Spahn, Don Wilson, Clayton Kershaw, Max Scherzer, and Nolan Ryan (three times) in achieving this feat.

Did those pitchers do this in the minor leagues or at the MLB level? This seems a bit disingenuous if the latter.
