Cole Hamels: The Clockwork 5
Cole Hamels has gone at least five innings in each of his last 71 starts.
Monday night, Cole Hamels threw seven innings in the Phillies' 3-2 win over the Nationals. It was the 71st consecutive start in which he lasted at least five innings. That is the fourth longest such streak for the Phillies since 1950 (see below).
Cliff Lee also has an active 43-start streak going, good for 10th on the list. But the team's record during both those runs (a combined 59-55) is mediocre.
