27, as in 27 straight scoreless innings for A's reliever Brad Ziegler to begin his career. Ziegler broke the 101-year major league record for scoreless innings to start a career as the Athletics' bullpen threw 4⅓ shutout innings to bail out starter Dana Eveland in a 6-5 win over the Texas Rangers on Sunday. Ziegler's record broke the previous mark of 25 innings set by Philadelphia Phillies right-hander George McQuillan. It's also the third-longest scoreless streak overall by an Oakland reliever.
Where do you think this stacks up in the world of baseball records?
