Phillies starter Aaron Nola made history on Friday by striking out 10 consecutive batters in his start against the Mets at Citi Field. That ties the all-time MLB record held by Mets legend and Hall of Famer Tom Seaver.
Nola's day got off to a shaky start when he hit leadoff batter Jeff McNeil with his second pitch of the game, then surrendered a double to Francisco Lindor two pitches later.
From there, the right-hander was locked in. He struck out the next 10 hitters he faced, generating 11 swings-and-misses and only reaching a three-ball count twice.
