Chicago White Sox lefty Mark Buehrle added to his achievements yesterday, which include throwing a perfect game last week, by setting a Major League Baseball record of retiring 45 consecutive batters. Buerhle's feat was accomplished over three games. The previous record was 41 batters. Jim Barr of the San Francisco Giants did it in 1972, and Buehrle's teammate, closer Bobby Jenks matched that in 2007.
All Buehrle needs to be elected to Baseball's Hall of Fame is a few more good seasons, preferably one with twenty wins.
As for last night's games, the White Sox lost to the Minnesota Twins, 5-3.
