In the beginning of the season, boasting Mike Fiers as our #1 starter seemed a bit iffy. He came in hot, riding the trail he’d blazed coming from last season’s 3.56 ERA, but would he keep burning bright for another season? At first it seemed not, as by May 1st he had compiled a 2-3 record and a 6.81 ERA. Fiers was ranked amongst the worst in the MLB.
Six days later, he threw the second no-hitter of his career. He also set the record for highest ERA ever at the time of throwing a no-no.
