For a while it looked like it would be a funny game. It looked like the San Francisco Giants hitters were going to record 27 outs without a run in between them and still cruise to nine-inning victory over the New York Mets.

It’s rare because it requires three rare things to happen, two of which are rarer when added together, like a unicorn that speaks seven languages.
The first thing that needs to happen is you need to score runs before recording an out.
