Doug Fister is really coming on as one of the most dominant pitchers in the American League. Proof of that was on display on Thursday when the hurler for the Detroit Tigers set an American League record by striking out nine consecutive batters.
Even the Kansas City Royals players were impressed.
Said Jeff Francoeur of the Royals: “It’s crazy, to go through a whole lineup and strike everybody out. And I don’t think he threw more than four pitches to any of the batters.”
On the season, Fister has a 3.38 ERA to go with 135 strikeouts in 157.1 innings.
