Phillies rookie Tyler Phillips tossed a shutout against the Guardians on Saturday night in just his fifth career outing. It was just the 17th time in franchise history Cleveland was shut out by a pitcher within his first five career games.
The most recent instances before Phillips:
- 2013 – Andrew Albers, Twins
- 2002 – Andy Van Hekken, Tigers
- 1978 – Ross Baumgarten, White Sox
- 1967 – Cisco Carlos, White Sox
Van Hekken’s performance was the most notable as it occurred in his MLB debut, and he would make just four more appearances in his career.
