With his five shutout innings on Monday, Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom posted his 12th consecutive start in which he allowed one or zero earned runs. It's the longest single-season streak by a traditional starting pitcher in major league history.
deGrom passed bob Gibson, who had 11 straight starts with one or zero earned runs in 1968, when he finished the season with a 1.12 ERA. deGrom's ERA is now 0.50 and he has not allowed a run in his last 30 innings.
0.50! . . . His ERA+ is 777! .
