2014 – Journeyman pitcher Yusmeiro Petit of the Giants sets a new major league mark when he begins a spot start against the Rockies by retiring the first 8 batters of the game. He had entered the contest having retired the last 38 batters he had faced over 7 appearances, dating back to July 22nd. His third out of the day ties the National League mark of 41 held by Jim Barr, and each out after that increases it. When he strikes out Jackson Williams to lead off the 3rd, he ties the major league record of 45 set by Mark Buehrle in 2009; he then sets a new record of 46 when he strikes out Charlie Culberson. The next batter, P Jordan Lyles end the streak with a double to left. Petit ends up giving up a single run in 6 innings and gets credit for the 4 – 1 win.
