Blake Snell struck out 10 Oakland Athletics over 7.0 scoreless frames on Sunday, leading the San Francisco Giants to a win and making history in the process.
The San Francisco Giants bested the Oakland Athletics on Sunday, thanks in large part to Snell's dominance on the mound. The reigning NL Cy Young winner tossed 7.0 innings of one-run ball, allowing six hits and two walks while striking out 10 en route to the win.
Prior to Johan Santana in 2004, it had only been done twice. Nobody posted the stat line between 1947 and 2003. Full list of pitchers who have allowed 20 or fewer hits over an 8-start span in a single season :This ongoing stretch comes on the heels of a lackluster free agency, slow start to the season and multiple injured list stints for Snell.
Snell made three starts in April before suffering a left adductor strain, which knocked him out for over a month. In those three starts, he went 0-3 with an 11.57 ERA and 1.971 WHIP.
