61 years. It was that long ago since the last time a Phils pitcher did what Lee did tonight.
3 shut outs in a row. 61 years ago Robin Roberts did it and three other before him including Grover Cleveland Alexander who did it twice.
Lee also has 32 straight shut out innings in a row now too. His 4th shut out this season and I think the Phils 12th.
Only two hits and only 5 K's but that's why he only threw 112 pitches.
Simply brilliant.
One walk in the first the no hits or runners until the sixth. So much fun to watch what he has done in June.
5-0 and one earned run in his last 42 innings in June.
His era for June is 0.21
Lowered his era to 2.66 he also had a sac fly rbi tonight and only faced 29 batters.
All of a sudden he is 9-5 and will be June's pitcher of the month.
He only needs three more shut outs in a row to match Orel Hersheiser.
Mood, Cliff lee is scary right now. the Phils are 50-30, 20 over .500 for the first time this season.
I'll have to look back and see the last time they were 20 over after 80 games.
Win 5-0
Streak 2 wins
Last ten 6-4
Record 50-30
