"1930 In one of the most brilliant starts in White Sox history, Pat Caraway threw a 13-inning shutout at Cleveland, winning, 3-0. The left-handed submariner scattered three hits and walked just two, striking out five. His 104 game score ranks sixth all-time in team annals. It was the clear highlight of a brilliant, 4.4-WAR rookie season. Was Caraway's arm getting tired in the game? Well, his two-run double in the top of the 13th provided the GWRBI, so what do you think?"
"1937 What a way to start a doubleheader: The Athletics put up 12 runs in the first inning, an American League record. Monty Stratton (six ER, four hits, two walks) was knocked from the box having retired just one batter, leaving Johnny Rigney to mop up (and absorb 10 earned runs of his own in completing the game. A's left fielder Bob Johnson had six RBIs in the first inning alone, knocking in two with an RBI single that opened scoring."
Jim Scott threw a 5-0 shutout over the Philadelphia A's in 1915 in only 68 minutes, allowing three hits and striking out six; he won 24 games that year. Pat Caraway pitched a 13-inning 3-0 shutout at Cleveland in 1930, scattering three hits, walking two, and striking out five; his 104 game score ranks sixth in team history and his two-run double in the 13th supplied the game-winning RBI of a 4.4-WAR rookie season. In 1937 the Athletics scored 12 first-inning runs (an American League record) as Bob Johnson drove in six in that inning and Philadelphia routed Chicago 16-0. In 1965 Ron Hansen handled 29 chances in a doubleheader, setting a major-league record while Chicago swept Boston; Bob Locker finished both games.
