A's reliever Brad Ziegler recorded six outs Sunday to set an MLB record with 27 scoreless innings to begin his career.
The right-hander gave up two singles in two innings against the Rangers but was otherwise flawless. He struck out three and started an inning-ending 1-6-3 double play in the eighth before giving way to closer Huston Street.
Ziegler broke the previous mark of 25 innings set by Phillies' right-hander George McQuillan in 1907.
