We might have just seen the most dominant game of the 2016 season. Vince Velasquez of the Philadelphia Phillies absolutely crushed the San Diego Padres on Thursday, tossing a three-hit shutout with 16 strikeouts and no walks. That's a game score of 97 and there's a small chance it will hold up as the best of the season. We had just seven better games in 2015, topped by Max Scherzer's 17-strikeout no-hitter that registered a 104, the second-highest ever in a nine-inning game behind Kerry Wood. Remarkably, Scherzer had another game score of 100, the only pitcher to do so twice in one season (there have been only 13 game scores of 100 or higher in a nine-inning game).
Holy cow, Phils' Vince Velasquez is awesome ... and Padres are terrible
