Pirates scoreless mound streak ends at 35 IP

Eaton's run ended the Bucs staff's remarkable 35-inning scoreless streak, and spoiled the club's chances of securing its sixth shutout over a seven-game span. Pittsburgh would eventually secure a 3-2 victory for its seventh straight win.

In that regard, Pittsburgh's 1903 club stands alone. The starting staff led by Deacon Phillippe, Sam Leever, Ed Doheny and Brickyard Kennedy can keep its spot atop several notable lists.

The 2015 run of 35 zeros ranks fourth in franchise history, trailing only the 1903 (51 innings), 1931 (45) and 1972 (36) clubs.

The 1903 Pirates still own the longest scoreless streak in Major League history, having tossed 51 consecutive shutout innings.
