The four-year veteran's streak of strikeouts snapped at 11 following a groundout in the bottom of the ninth inning during a recent game. However, his scoreless inning streak continues, now standing at an impressive 26.2 consecutive innings without allowing an earned run. This streak includes games played in 2025, excluding playoff and World Baseball Classic performances.
