With game called, Justin Verlander sees long streak end
Already perhaps done anyway, Justin Verlander‘s streak of 63 straight starts
of at least six innings came to an end Tuesday when the Tigers-Red Sox game
was delayed by rain and then called in the top of the sixth.
Ironically, Verlander got a complete game for his effort in the 4-1 loss to
Boston.
Verlander was off right from the start, but he escaped with a scoreless first
after throwing 35 pitches in the frame. The Red Sox got to him for all four
runs in the fourth, a frame in which he even walked in a run. The Tigers had
a reliever up in the pen in the fourth, and given that he was at 107 pitches
after five, he really shouldn’t have come back out for the sixth anyway.
Verlander’s previous start of less than six innings took place on Aug. 17,
2010, when he gave up three runs in five innings and walked five in a loss to
the Yankees. His streak of six-plus innings start was the third longest
during the expansion era, trailing only Bob Gibson (78) and Steve Carlton
(69). The next longest streak since 2000 belonged to Mark Buehrle, with 49
straight for the White Sox in 2004-05.

不但吞下败投 连续63场先发至少都投满6局的纪录也中断了
他上次投不满六局是2010年8月对上NYY的比赛(今年ASG当然不算)
无缘挑战Carlton的69场跟Gibson的78场
近几年来的纪录而是Buehrle之前在白袜创的49场(也早就被V中年所打破)
