2012 Week: Cliff Lee’s 10-inning loss

Cliff Lee had a lot of incredible starts in his Phillies career. In 118 starts with the team, he pitched 12 complete games, winning 11 of them. But perhaps the most dominant start in his entire Phillies career was neither a complete game nor was it a victory.

On April 18, 2012, Cliff Lee pitched ten scoreless innings against the soon-to-be World Series Champion San Francisco Giants. It was the first time since 2007 that any pitcher had thrown more than 9 innings in a game, and not a single pitcher has accomplished the feat since.
