Giants’ Petit pitches record
Print Edition
YUSMEIRO Petit pitched six dominant innings, striking out nine batters en route to making history in the San Francisco Giants’ 4-1 Major League Baseball victory over the Colorado Rockies on Thursday.
Petit retired the first eight batters he faced to break Mark Buehrle’s MLB record with 46 consecutive outs. He improved to 2-2 as a starter after allowing just one run on four hits over six innings of work, and also struck out nine before leaving after making just 81 pitches.
Petit has split his playing time between starting and coming out of the bullpen. He tied the National League record for consecutive batters retired of 41 with a 1-2-3 first inning.
Giants batter Pablo Sandoval led off the second inning with a single, and after Hunter Pence popped up in the infield, Gregor Blanco crushed a Jordan Lyles’ pitch over the fence to make it 2-0. Petit struck out Jackson Williams to open the third inning and match Buehrle’s mark. Another strikeout of Rockies batter Charlie Culberson gave him the record.
Lyles broke up the historic streak one batter later when he smacked a double to the wall in the left field.
