Nick Pivetta, a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, achieved a remarkable feat by tying a franchise record with eight consecutive strikeouts against the Detroit Tigers. This performance matched the record previously set by Roger Clemens. Pivetta's dominance was evident as he struck out eight batters in a row, with eight whiffs on eight swings at his sweeper and 10 called strikes overall. Through three innings, he retired nine batters, eight on strikeouts. However, his run was ended when Riley Greene grounded out. Despite his initial success, Pivetta later appeared uncomfortable on the mound, grabbing at his back and struggling to maintain his follow-through.
I mean, before HE owned the team, the Red Sox won . . .never mind. https://t.co/sbLWjACPnS
