Bill- I'm not sure when the last time a pitcher had 3 shutouts in a single month...but, it got me remembering Hershiser's late run in 1988:
His September record:
5 straight complete game shutouts
followed by 10 shutout innings in his last start to break yet another
Dodger's (Drysdale) Major League record with 59 consecutive scoreless innings.
But, he didn't stop there:
On 10/4, in the opening playoff game, he held the Mets scoreless for 8 1/3 innings...
bringing his incredible string to 67 1/3 consecutive scoreless innings!!
BIG WOW!!!
