Over the last 123 seasons (since 1893), only three other pitchers won at least eight games and had winning records for each of two different teams in one season: Hank Borowy (1945 Cubs and Yankees), David Cone (1995 Blue Jays and Yankees) and Bartolo Colon (2002 Indians and Expos).<br /><br />The Mets shut out the Braves on Monday, 4-0, with the first two runs coming against Shelby Miller. Miller is now winless in his last 23 starts, tying the second-longest single-season streak of that kind in major-league history. The longest streak was 27 in a row, by Jack Nabors, of the 1916 Philadelphia Athletics; he never started another game in the major leagues. Two other pitchers had 23-start streaks: Cliff Curtis of the Boston Braves in 1910 and Matt Keough of the 1979 A's.<br /><br />Xander Bogaerts's eighth-inning grand slam turned a 6-4 deficit into an 8-6 lead in the Red Sox' win over the Rays on Monday. Over the last 20 years, the only other Red Sox player to hit a behind-to-ahead grand slam at Fenway in the eighth inning or later was Mo Vaughn, who hit a walkoff grand slam in Boston's home opener in 1998.<br />allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-37325610869870408202015-09-22T06:16:09.317-07:002015-09-22T06:16:09.317-07:00Jon Shestakofsky @Shesta_Sox: "Xander Bogaer...Jon Shestakofsky @Shesta_Sox: "Xander Bogaerts has 26 RBI in 25 plate appearances with the bases loaded this season: 10-for-24 (.417), 4 doubles, triple, slam, sac fly."allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.com
