WS Factoids: Cristian Javier Is The First Pitcher In MLB History To Have 6 Consecutive Starts Of 5+ Innings And 2 Or Fewer Hits Allowed

Jayson Stark of The Athletic has some great factoids related to last night's historic game:

First, here are Cristian Javier's last six starts:

September 14 at Tigers: u00a0 6 innings, 2 hits
September 20 at Rays:u00a0 5 innings, 1 hit
September 25 at Orioles:u00a0 6 innings, 1 hit
October 1 vs Rays:u00a0 6 innings, 2 hits
October 22 at Yankees: 5.1 innings, 1 hit (ALCS Game 3)
November 2 at Phillies: 6 innings, 0 hits (World Series Game 4)

That's only seven hits allowed in six starts (34.1 innings)!

Over those six starts, opposing hitters are 7-for-105.
