On August 27, 2014 — David Price of the Tigers has a historically bad outing in a start against the Yankees. In the 3rd inning, he allows a base hit to the first 9 batters he faces before being lifted; he is the first pitcher to allow 9 straight hits since Bob Forsch on August 3, 1989, and ends up allowing 8 earned runs on 12 hits in only 2 innings, something accomplished by only three other pitchers before him. For their part, the Yankees fall one shy of the American League record for consecutive hits as they win, 8 – 4.
