San Francisco Giants pitcher Blake Snell is on a big-time heater, and he's making history on multiple fronts lately.
The San Francisco Giants lost to the Atlanta Braves 1-0 in 10 innings on Monday night in San Francisco.
The game was an epic pitcher's duel between Giants' lefty Blake Snell and Braves' lefty Chris Sale. Sale went 7.0 innings, allowing no runs on three hits. He walked none and struck out 12. It's been a great bounceback year for Sale, who was named an All-Star. Finally healthy, 13-3 overall with a 2.61 ERA.
Snell went 6.1 innings, giving up just two hits and three walks. He struck out 11. It was a very tough start to the year for Snell, who missed nearly all of spring training after signing late, and then has been on the injured list two different times. Despite all that, he's got a 3.91 ERA now in 69.0 innings. He's struck out 91 batters in that workload and is making all sorts of baseball and team history.1975 John Montefusco: 46Blake Snell has an .097 opp BA over his last 7 startsA two-time Cy Young winner in his career, Snell is 73-58 lifetime.
