The last 3 MLB pitchers to get 18+ whiffs in one game with their fourseam fastball:
Luis Castillo, 6/9/23
Bryce Miller, 6/30/23
George Kirby, tonight
Not the last 3 Mariners....the last 3 MLB pitchers. 😮
The
@Mariners
' 1.47 ERA (22 ER, 135.0 IP) since April 10 is their best in franchise history over a 15-game span.
The 1.47 ERA is the best in
@MLB
over a 15-game span since Cleveland's 1.46 ERA from Sept. 1-14, 2017.
The
@Mariners
have now had their starter notch 4+ strikeouts while allowing 2 or fewer ER in each of the last 15 games.
That's the longest streak by any MLB team's starters since ER became an official stat in both leagues in 1913 (no other team has had a streak longer than 12).
George Kirby is the only pitcher in the Majors this season with 12+ strikeouts while allowing 2-or-fewer hits.
He is the first Mariners pitcher to accomplish that feat since Logan Gilbert on Aug. 8, 2023 vs. San Diego.
