Three Straight Rookies
Over the past three games, Gavin Williams, Tanner Bibee and Logan Allen have combined to allow just one run in 19 innings of work.
Their one run allowed is the fewest combined runs allowed by rookie starting pitchers in three consecutive games in franchise history, breaking a record set by Bibee, Allen and Xzavion Curry earlier this year.
- 2023 – Gavin Williams, Tanner Bibee, Logan Allen (1 run, 19 IP)
- 2023 – Tanner Bibee, Xzavion Curry, Logan Allen (2 runs, 14 IP)
- 2002 – Cliff Lee, Brian Tallet, Ricardo Rodriguez (4 runs, 15.1 IP)
- 1910 – Harry Fanwell, George Kahler, Willie Mitchell (4 runs. 29 IP)
On a more depressing note, it was just the third time in franchise history the team won just one game in a three-game span in which its starting pitchers allowed one or fewer runs. The other instances:
- 2022 – Aaron Civale, Shane Bieber, Zach Plesac – 1 run in 16.3 IP, 1 win vs KC, TEX
- 2014 – Justin Masterson, Corey Kluber, Zach McAllister – 1 run in 22 IP, 1 win vs CHW, MIN
