Betances' impressive strikeout rate; Offense not letting Miller and Betances do their job; Tanaka quietly dominating; Jeter might be faking a hole-in-one and more

Yahoo Sports | Mark Townsend: Even after striking out 266 batters over 174 innings in his first two full seasons as a relief ace, Dellin Betances is shocking the baseball world by striking out batters at a historic pace. The major league record for strikeouts in a single game with 20 and Betances has 22 in his nine innings pitched. His strikeout number is more than those of starting pitchers such as Stephen Strasburg and Matt Harvey and just one less than the likes of Max Scherzer and Jon Lester.
