Give up a grand slam and not record an out

Posted on    by

Nick Sandlin gave up a grand slam to the Blue Jays’ Dalton Varsho yesterday and was removed from the game before recording an out.

He’s the 12th pitcher in franchise history to give up a grand slam without recording an out. The others:

Latman and Barker were the only ones to do so as a starting pitcher. Latman and Shaw were the only ones to give up multiple home runs in the game.

Lilliquist (vs Detroit’s Lou Whitaker) and Shuey (vs Anaheim’s Tim Salmon) gave up walk-off grand slams.

Everyone gets a decision

Posted on    by

Last night against the Blue Jays, all six pitchers used by the Guardians recorded either a win, hold or save.

It’s just the eighth time in franchise history the team used at least six pitchers and everyone recorded a decision.

Clase’s HR streak ends

Camacho

allowed his first home run of the season on Sunday against the Marlins, snapping his streak of not allowing a home run at 31 games. It was the 13th longest streak in team history by a reliever of not allowing a home run to start the year.

The longest:

Camacho’s streak ended on September 30 of that year, his second to last game of the season.

Dipoto’s streak lasted his entire debut season in 1993. His 46 games without allowing a home run are the third most in a debut season in MLB history.

Michael Kelly Perfect in Debut

Posted on    by

Michael Kelly made his season debut on Saturday against the Rangers with a three-up, three-down inning with two strikeouts. It was just the fifth career game for Kelly, a 30-year-old rookie, who made his MLB debut last year for the Phillies.

Dating back to 1990, Kelly is just the 14th pitcher to post the following stats in his Cleveland debut:

  • At least three batters faced
  • No baserunners allowed
  • 2 or more strikeouts
