Gerrit Cole, Max Scherzer On Pace To Break Pedro's K-Rate Mark

May 20, 2018 11:01 AM

Both Gerrit Cole and Max Scherzer are on pace to break Pedro Martinez's Major League record for strikeout rate over a full season.

Martinez set the mark in 1999 with a 37.5% strikeout rate.

Cole (40.8%) and Scherzer (40.4%) are on pace to shatter the mark.

Both pitchers have made nine starts, roughly one-third of their season. Chris Sale could flirt with the record as well. He's at 34.9% this season after posting a 36.2% strikeout rate last season, which currently ranks third historically.

Dylan Bundy First To Give Up Four HRs, Record No Outs

May 9, 2018 7:55 AM

Dylan Bundy had a historically bad outing for the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night.

Bundy became the first pitcher in modern Major League history to give up four home runs without recording an out.

In the first inning against the Kansas City Royals, Bundy faced seven hitters without recording an out. He gave up four home runs, two walks and seven baserunners total, leading to seven runs.

"I was leaving pitches right down the middle and they were hitting them over the fence. I got us in a 7-0 early hole and couldn't climb out of it," Bundy said. "It seemed like ([I'd throw] ball one, strike one and then -- homer. I just have to work ahead of guys and I haven't been able to do that the last 3 starts."
