Karstens joins rare company in Bucs history
2008-08-06 15:38
by Bob Timmermann

Jeff Karstens, who almost threw a perfect game today at Chase Field, and settled for a 2-hit, 2-0 shutout win, has started his Pirates career with 15 straight scoreless innings.

That is the longest such streak for a pitcher joining the Pirates since Jeff Robinson tossed 15 2/3 scoreless innings for the Bucs when he joined them from Texas back from June 13 through June 27, 1992.

There were two Jeff Robinsons in the majors in 1992. And both were pitchers and both were from California. To prevent further confusion, neither of them pitched in the majors after 1992.

The other Jeff Robinson also pitched for the Yankees, Karstens' old team, but he did it before the scoreless streak of the Jeff Robinson you mention, though after his time with the Pirates; "his" refers to that belonging to the Jeff Robinson who is the subject of this comment, not the one who is the subject, or I suppose, really, the secondary subject, of the above post.
