During Monday night’s contest against the Atlanta Braves, the Tampa Bay Rays made some franchise history as the pitching staff combined to strikeout 19 players in nine inning game, breaking the previous team mark of 18. which they had reached but failed to surpass five times before.
Tyler Glasnow gets the first attention because he was the starter and racked up nine K’s through four innings. However, the third pitcher that Kevin Cash turned to in relief was Jalen Beeks, and he managed to collect seven strikeouts of his own over just three innings of work, earning a secondary honor: Whiff King of Whiff City.
