But it didn't take long for people to take notice, especially after Snell finished April without allowing a run, a stretch spanning 21 innings. Four starts into May and he still had a 0.00 ERA. That ran the streak to 46 consecutive scoreless innings in 2015, 49 in total when those three to end 2014 were added in.
"A lot is clearly going your way when you throw 46 shutout innings," Snell said. "It was a fun year. It was fun to be a part of it and enjoy it while it was going. I was really pleased with it.
