Dellin Betrances, a late inning, set-up pitcher for the New York Yankees, finally had his streak stopped last night.
Over several days/teams/locations, Betrances had recorded 26 consecutive outs, without giving up a base hit, one short of a "personal no-hitter". He promptly started a new streak by striking out the next two batters he faced.
No, he didn't get that elusive 27th-in-a-row but, C'mon, let's give a tip of the hat for an accomplishment, at a position that never gets a chance to make the headlines or taste the glory, anyway.
