Corey Kluber threw an 85-pitch shutout tonight against Seattle. Only the seventh blanking on 85 or fewer pitches since turn of millennium.
The previous six: Aaron Cook (81), Jeff Karstens (83), Aaron Cook (79), Rich Harden (81), Roy Halladay (83), Jon Lieber (78). Cook twice!

This is shocking: Greg Maddux threw only one shutout on fewer than 85 pitches in his career. Had two with 88, three with 89, 13 under 100.

14196And Tyler Cloyd threw a no hitter for Columbus tonight.
He lost the perfect game in 9th inning when he hit a batter!

14197Just looking at Kluber's line, you wont see a more dominating performance.
Things that jump out:
85 pitches
no walks 16 balls the entire game
28 batters faced---- one over the minimum
The thing I love about Kluber is he pitched his way to the Majors without much fanfare or hype. He just keeps getting better and better.
Nothing better than seeing a player seize an opportunity and run with it.

@ESPNStatsInfo: Via @EliasSports, Corey Kluber is the only pitcher in the last 100 seasons with consecutive starts of 9 IP and 28 batters faced.

14203I wish we had a couple of those "16" year old Cubans on our side, Frank. Maybe Nelson Cruz even. Our stars might be shining much better today.

14204What a game last night!!! Also note that a game like that doesn't take 3 hours to play. 2 hours and bout 10 mins. One of those games you blink and you WILL miss something.
