Thanks to the people at
RedSoxNotes, we have discovered some
truly historic facts about Boston's starters so far this year. For example, they have allowed
one or no runs in each of the team’s first five games.
That's only been done two other times in 110 years. The other two teams to do this were the 1988 Giants and the 1943 Cardinals. The streaks ended at five for both teams. So, if
Chris Sale repeats this achievement tonight, it will be the first time in MLB history that it has occurred across a team's first six starts. Get ready for history!
