No pitcher in the history of baseball had ever thrown three straight starts striking out at least 9 batters in each while walking none. By the time Chris Archer was finished on Sunday, he had struck out at least 11 without a walk in three straight starts, a mark that may not be matched for a long time. He led the Tampa Bay Rays to victory with 7 innings allowing an unearned run on 6 hits, striking out 11 while walking none.
