Is that by a rookie, or starting a career, or what? It's nowhere near 
the MLB record for consecutive scoreless innings.

To my addled brain a .50 ERA looks more impressive than 0.00. When I see 
the latter, I automatically assume it's based on only a few innings, 
whereas .50 means the guy has pitched at least 18 innings. It's a great 
start, that's for sure. It'll be interesting to see if (when?) the Yanks 
give him a start.
