OAKLAND -- The Blue Jays have had a lot of big-name pitchers over the years with a group that's headlined by Roy Halladay, Dave Stieb, Roger Clemens and Pat Hentgen. But nobody on that list was able to accomplish what Mark Buehrle did Tuesday night in a 7-1 victory over the A's.
Buehrle became the first pitcher in franchise history to allow two earned runs or less while tossing at least six innings in nine consecutive starts. Stieb had two stretches of eight starts while Clemens did it once but no one took it quite as far as Buehrle.
