strike-out without a pitch thrown

[user2535]

Here's a good one for you trivia guys (and gals)
MLB game a few night ago had batter attempt a bunt on the first pitch, then unsuccessfully attempted a bunt on second pitch. Now 0-2 the manager, realizing batter will most likely swing on the next pitch decides to change his pitcher. At this time the opposing manager decides to change his batter. Now new batter has 0-2 count and new pitcher throws a pitch and strikes him out. I later learned that by rule the initial pitcher gets credit for the strike-out, and the batter taking over the 0-2 count gets stuck with the strike-out. The initial pitcher officially struck out a batter he never pitched to.
