White Sox starter Dylan Cease has been among the best pitchers in all of Major League Baseball this season, but what he’s accomplished in his last 13 outings hasn’t been seen in over a century.
Following a six-inning stint against the Rangers in which he allowed just one earned run, Cease broke a tie with Mets ace Jacob deGrom for the longest streak of starts allowing one or fewer earned runs since earned runs became official in 1913, according to ESPN Stats & Info. The Chicago right-hander extended his stretch to 13 consecutive starts with Friday’s performance, while deGrom only reached 12 such outings during the 2021 campaign.
