Zac Gallen's Scoreless Streak: By the Numbers

All the important stats that illustrate how dominant Gallen was during his recent scoreless streak.

Zac Gallen set a new franchise record for consecutive scoreless innings in yesterday's win against the Colorado Rockies, breaking the previous record of 42 innings set by Brandon Webb in 2007. With the streak officially over, we can look back to see how impressive Gallen has been during this streak.

The stats include the first three innings against the Rockies, in which Gallen retired the first 9 hitters, with 6 strikeouts.

44 1/3: The number of consecutive scoreless innings that Zac Gallen threw. That streak is the 7th longest scoreless streak in MLB history.

612: The total number of pitches Gallen threw during the streak. 

7: The number of starts Gallen made during this streak. Ironically enough, two of them took place at Coors Field.
