nypost.comA left-handed pitcher ended a scoreless streak at 50 2/3 innings when a two-out single in the seventh inning allowed one run to score in a 3-2 win. The run came on a single by an opposing batter that scored another runner. The pitcher had faced 190 batters and thrown 663 pitches during the streak that began in the second inning of an April 30 start.
Streak details and historical context The streak ranks as the longest ever by a left-handed pitcher and the fourth-longest in major league history. It trails marks set by Orel Hershiser, Don Drysdale and Walter Johnson. It also surpassed a 41-inning mark set by a former pitcher for the same club in 1911.
Team performance during the streak The club has posted a 21-11 record since the streak began and moved into second place in its division after the win. The team will seek a series sweep in its next game.
“It was incredible. It’s really special what we have here as a group, as an organization as a whole — the players, the staff, the medical staff.”
The pitcher completed the inning after the run scored and received a standing ovation from fans before leaving the game.
