Zack Greinke of the Brewers becomes the first pitcher since Red Faber in 1917 to start three consecutive games for his team, when he faces the Pirates today. Greinke had been ejected after only four pitches on July 7th for spiking the ball into the ground, then started the next day’s game, lasting three innings. The All-Star break then intervened, allowing him to start the Brewers’ first game of the second half, but he pitches only 5 innings with a no-decision. Faber had done so under more demanding circumstances, starting both ends of a doubleheader before pitching a complete game the next day.

Morris was a high school baseball coach and science teacher just four months ago when he tried out at the urging of his players. His life story will be turned into a movie.
