Preview, #13: 4/11 vs. Padres

Here’s a real oddity. Both starts by Zack Godley this year have been in games where 23 runs were scored: an 18-5 loss to the Dodgers, and a 15-8 win over Boston. Considering the rarity of 23-run games - on a quick scan, looks like the last before this year involving us was April 2010, a 12-11 win over Colorado - I wonder if any other pitcher has ever started consecutive such contests? It’s especially remarkable, considering the wide difference in Godley’s own performance. While similar in length (5.1 and 5.2 innings), he gave up eight runs (seven earned) in Los Angeles, and just one in San Diego.
