Rodriguez Sets Rangers Record by Retiring 34 Consecutive Batters

Texas Rangers pitcher Wandy Rodriguez set a franchise record in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays, extending his streak of retired batters to a remarkable 34, per MLB Stat of the Day.

The streak started in Tuesday's 7-1 road win over the Astros, with the 36-year-old Rodriguez sitting down the final 19 batters he faced against his former team.

He allowed one run on three hits and a walk over the first two innings of that outing, but starting with the final out of the second inning, he was perfect for the rest of the day.
