The Cold Hard Truth:
- 43 1/3 innings pitched without a run.
- That streak is the longest by an Indians starting staff since the 47 they pitched in August 1948.
- Its the longest by a MLB team since a 54 inning streak by Baltimore in '74. (Which is the MLB record.)
- 11 more innings to go. Laffey is up next, then Sowers. Not the best line-up to break the record with. But Laffey has thrown 14 scoreless innings in his last two starts, so maybe?
- 5 consecutive shutouts in an eight game span.
-First since Oakland did it in 2002.
-Cleveland leads the MLB in shutouts this year with 7.
