Dellin Betances Approaches History In Win
6 years agoNew York Yankees reliever Dellin Betances tossed a perfect ninth inning in Tuesday's victory over the Chicago White Sox at Yankee Stadium, picking up his fourth victory of the season. The performance led to the New York native lowering his ERA to a sensational 2.14 on the year. More importantly, two strikeouts recorded brought his season total to 96, just four shy of 100. If he should pull it off, which appears to be a lock, Betances will become the first relief pitcher in Major League Baseball history to record at least 100 strikeouts in five consecutive seasons.
