In an era when old-school baseball observers lament the lack of durability and reliability among today’s starting pitchers, Bryan Woo was an outlier.
The Seattle Mariners right-hander entered Wednesday’s start against the San Diego Padres having pitched at least six innings in each of his first 25 outings this season.
What’s more, Woo was effective. He had never walked more than two batters in a single game, breaking a record set by Hall of Famer Juan Marichal in 1968.
Bryan Woo has now tossed 6.0+ innings and allowed 2-or-fewer walks in each of his first 24 starts this season, the longest streak to begin a season in @MLB history. https://t.co/Whb61kCKEh

That streak ended Wednesday in dramatic, humbling fashion. Journeyman infielder Jose Iglesias reached base on an infield single with two outs in the fifth inning of the game at T-Mobile Park. Mariners manager Dan Wilson decided then and there that Woo’s 95th pitch of the game would be his last.

A left-handed hitter, Jake Cronenworth, was on deck with the bases loaded. Wilson called on Gabe Speier, a left-handed hitter, to record the final out of the inning.
Speier didn’t get the out — he hit Cronenworth with a pitch on the veteran infielder’s left hand, forcing in a run — but he struck out Padres catcher Freddy Fermin to end the inning, preserving Seattle’s 4-2 lead.

Although Woo left the game in line for the victory, he also left one out shy of extending his all-time record.
