Jenks threatening consecutive batters retired records
2007-08-09 21:35
by Bob Timmermann

White Sox reliever Bobby Jenks has retired the last 35 batters he's faced and is just three short of the alltime AL record for consecutive batters retired, which is 38 by David Wells on May 12, May 17, and May 23, 1998. Jim Barr of the Giants holds the major league record with 41 straight batters retired on August 23 and August 29, 1972.

The last batter to reach against Jenks was Ryan Garko on July 17, 2007. Garko hit a 2-run homer off of Jenks. Jenks retired the next three batters and then 11 straight appearances without a batter reaching first.
