In his last 4 appearances, Josh Hader has faced 20 batters over 6 innings pitched.

He's given up 1 hit, 1 walk, 1 ball-in-play-out, and 17 strikeouts. The last 13 outs he has been responsible for have been strikeouts.

Hader just struck out the side in Pittsburgh, and has set the all time MLB record for consecutive outs by strikeout. It was 14, now it's 16 and counting.

And a flyout in the next inning ends the streak at 16.

Oh he also set the MLB record for strikeouts in a season by a lefty reliever with 136.

Braves clinched way earlier than I thought they would. Had a nice lead over the Phils but still 7 or so games between them left so there was a chance for a collapse

BUT for once they took care of business. Magic number of 6 going into the series, Braves took the first 3 games to clinch the NL East

Still an outside shot at the 1 seed in the NL but I'd rather worry about getting players rest and the rotation lined up

Always good to see the Braves on top again. In other news, I was hoping to bare witness to a triple crown winner. Maybe in the next 20 years lol.

Oakland A’s clinch the WC spot against the Yankees. Yankees only have a game and a half lead on them for home field, but play the Rays and Red Sox for the rest of their schedule.

Just fuck my shit up fam.

With a homer in the 1st tonight, BRAUN just became only the 5th player in MLB history with at least 17 homers and 11 stolen bases in 11 or more seasons.

[Mertron]

that table clearly says ten seasons (unless it isn’t updated to this year)

[archibaldcrane]
