The Dodgers turn to Kenta Maeda tonight, making his final start of what so far has been one of the best debut months in MLB history, trying to avoid a four-game sweep at the hands of the Marlins.
Quality
There have only been 12 pitchers since 1990 to open their careers with five quality starts in their first five major league games. The last two came in 2014, when both Masahiro Tanaka (16 straight!) and Odrisamer Despaigne (five straight) turned the trick.
The last Dodgers record for consecutive quality starts to open a career, at least back to 1913, is five, set by the trio of Danny McDevitt (1957), Don Sutton (1966) and Pedro Astacio (1992).
