Snell’s streak began on July 9 against the Toronto Blue Jays and included starts against the Minnesota Twins, Los Angeles Dodgers, Colorado Rockies, Cincinnati Reds, Washington Nationals, and Atlanta Braves.
Snell had a memorable night on August 2 when he tossed a no-hitter against the Cincinnati Reds. Snell was locked in a pitcher’s duel last night against the Atlanta Braves as he tossed 6.1 scoreless innings while punching out 11. He has 10+ strikeouts in three of his last four starts.
