Oakland A's reliever Brad Ziegler set the Major League Baseball record for scoreless innings to start a career on Sunday with 27 innings. The scoreless record stood since 1907, a hundred and one years. Ziegler talked about sending some the game balls used on Sunday to Cooperstown and the Hall of Fame, "I don't know if that's something I'd ever thought I'd have to do as long as it wasn't a real embarrassing moment or someone else's highlight, but it's pretty incredible. It's real special. I feel like I've worked real hard to get here. Thankfully it's not over yet. Hopefully we can keep it going."
Ziegler reflected on his accomplishment before today's game,"There are a lot of great pitchers who have debuted in the last 100 years, so to be at the top of that list right now feels great. It's real special. I feel like I've worked real hard to get here. I've never had anything handed to me, so it makes this that much more special."
The A's beat the Texas Rangers 6 to 5, preventing the series sweep. Mark Ellis continues to struggle at the plate going 0 for 4 for the game.
