After that, Hershiser went on to blank the Expos over the final four innings en route to yet another complete game and thus began the seemingly unbreakable scoreless streak. Hershiser went on to finish the regular season with six consecutive complete-game shutouts and with a 23-8 record and a 2.26 ERA, earning the only Cy Young Award of his career.
Hershiser's streak broke another legendary Dodger pitcher's stretch, previously set by Don Drysdale in 1968 when he threw 58 consecutive scoreless innings. Hershiser broke Drysdale's record was a true testament of his 'Bulldog' mentality by pitching 10 scoreless innings in his final start of the regular season after the Dodgers had already clinched the division title.
