Devil Rays set a modern era record

Utter dominance

That’s the only way to describe the Rays pitcher’s performance on Saturday night against the Tigers, which they did while wearing their Devil Rays throwback uniforms: 24 strikeouts, 0 walks, and too many ugly swings and uncomfortable at-bats to count.

Rays pitchers struck out 24 batters today and *did not walk anyone*

That's the most strikeouts by a team without issuing a walk in a game since at least 1908.— Sarah Langs (@SlangsOnSports) August 18, 2019

Since the modern era, and as far back as Baseball Reference will go (1908) there has never been a team to do what the Rays did on Saturday night.
