Zack Greinke went six innings and did not record a strikeout against the Guardians, a rare stat line. It’s just the fourth time it’s occurred against Cleveland in the last 10 years.
Even more rare is the fact that he also allowed 11 hits.
Here are the most recent instances of a pitcher giving up 11 hits to Cleveland without recording a strikeout prior to Greinke:
- 2018 Austin Bibens-Dirkx, DET
- 1996 Chris Haney, KC
- 1995 Steve Sparks, MIL
- 1993 Jack Morris, TOR
- 1987 Mike Morgan, SEA
