On May 28, 1986, Joe Cowley of the Chicago White Sox set a Major League record by striking out the first seven batters he faced. He lasted only four and two-thirds innings in a 6-3 loss to the Texas Rangers and finished the season eleven and eleven.
"In the ninth inning, you want to give them the best you have. If you have anything left, you have to bring it on. I tried to crank it up a little." - Pedro Martinez
