Spencer Strider flirted with a perfect game on Monday night, but still made history on the mound for the Atlanta Braves.

Strider lost his bid for a perfect game on an error in the seventh and lost his no-hitter via a bloop single in the eighth.

The right-hander threw 81 of his 101 pitches for strikes while limiting the Miami Marlins to two hits over eight scoreless innings. He recorded a season-high 13 strikeouts in the Braves' 11-0 victory.

"He's special," said Sean Murphy. "He proved it again tonight."

Strider's latest outing makes him the only pitcher in Braves history to record at least nine strikeouts in nine consecutive starts. The 24-year-old entered Monday sharing the franchise record with John Smoltz. Nolan Ryan owns the MLB record with the 11-game streak he produced in 1977.

"I'm grateful that I'm in this position and I've had some success," Strider said. "I've helped us win some games. But I'm sure there is work to be done and progress can be made."
