"According to STATS LLC research going back to 1921, only two other teams won 22 straight starts by a pitcher: the New York Giants with Carl Hubbell (1936-37) and the Yankees with Whitey Ford (1950-53). Ford's streak was interrupted by military service."
Ford and Hubbell? That's some pretty impressive company.
Oddly enough, Medlen started three games in triple-A earlier this year and could not get anyone out. He emerged from that ordeal 0-2 with a 4.72 ERA and a dreadful 1.58 WHIP.
