Cleveland pitchers establish milestone that's never been done in MLB

David Murphy drove in two runs with a double in the eighth inning to send Trevor Bauer and the Cleveland Indians to a 4-2 home win over the Houston Astros on Wednesday.

Bauer (8-5) allowed a two-run homer by Evan Gattis in the first but settled down nicely, allowing six hits and walking none in eight innings. Bauer retired 13 of the final 14 batters he faced.

By striking out nine batters, Bauer helped the Indians become the first team in history to have four pitchers notch at least 100 strikeouts by the All-Star break, the team said.

Now, how about some hitting milestones?

I think it would be neat if somebody pitching 32 games could strike out more than Ryan or Koufax in 42, though.
