Detroit Tigers Accomplish Feat Not Seen Since 1897

The Detroit Tigers just pulled off something that sounds almost impossible, and according to OptaSTATS, it had not happened in Major League Baseball since 1897.

With their 11-0 win over the Seattle Mariners, the Tigers became just the second team in MLB history to record a 10-plus run shutout win in three consecutive series. The run started with a 14-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles, continued with an 11-0 victory over the Athletics, and now includes another 11-0 dismantling of the Mariners.
