Category: White Sox Dylan Cease makes MLB history
The held off the , 2-1, Friday night, and Sox ace once again did the heavy lifting. Here's his work for the night: Jean-Francois Jacques Jersey CHW SP #84 vs. TEX, 8/5/22 IP6H2R1ER1SO5BB3 Of Cease's 91 pitches, 57 went for strikes. In addition to picking up his 12th win of the season against four lo ses, Cease lowered his 2022 ERA to 1.98. Brian Ferlin Men Jersey He's also got 166 strikeouts in 122 2/3 innings this season. That's quite obviously excellent, and over his last 13 starts his excellence has been historic: Including today, Dylan Cease has gone 13 consecutive starts of allowing 1 or fewer earned runs.That breaks a tie with Jacob deGrom (2021) for the longest such streak since earned runs became official in 1913. ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) Indeed, Cease has not allowed more than one earned run in a start since the roughed him up for seven earned in three innings back on May 24. Over the course of this record streak Cease has allowed only 10 unearned runs, and despite the "unearned" designated pitchers do bear some culpability for those Jujhar Khaira Men Jersey runs allowed. That said, the record is for earned runs allowed, and Cease factually now owns that record.The 26-year-old right-hander, whom the Sox acquired from the cro stown in 2017, is legit. He broke out in 2021 with a 226- Olivier Rodrigue Jersey strikeout season, and in 2022 he's been even better -- he may even be in line for a high finish in the AL Cy Young balloting. This year, Cease has added a splitter to his pitch mix, and he's leaned even more on his wipeout slider. So far, that's yielded big results, and it could suggest Cease is ready to reach the next level and stay there for some time. That's important for a White Sox team that's been disappointing thus far but is still in the mix in the fairly weak AL Central. A suming he stays on regular rest, Cease Matt Benning Women Jersey will try to extend his record streak to 14 games against the on Wednesday, Aug. 10.
