Awesome research, thanks. I was a fan in 1974 but had forgotten that string of five shutouts. This last two weeks of rotation excellence (and your list) is giving me flashbacks to the summer of love (1967), when I started to make game logs to savor the strings of shutouts and low-hit gems by Oriole starters. Looking back now at the game logs kept by Baseball-Reference (manually, without your sorting skills!), it's hard to identify exactly which streak so impressed my teenage fan-meter, or even which year. Certainly 1968 was all about low scoring league-wide. Maybe it was the stretch 22-27 May 1967 featuring Phoebus, Bertaina, Barber, McNally, and Phoebus again (good old 4-man rotation!), including three scoreless outings. Or Hardin and Brabender joining Phoebus, McNally and Palmer from 15 to 20 September, 1967. What about 1969, with Cuellar, Lopez and Leonhard joining the previous cast of McNally, Phoebus, and Hardin, twirling 10 starts (13-22 June) while allowing only 12 runs. Anyway, it feels rather historic to see this run of high-end pitching from an Orioles rotation. Here's a chart to recap the numbers on this streak in progress... Date Starter IP H ER ERA (14 G) totals: 81.67 59 19 2.09 21-Apr Irvin 6.2 4 0 22-Apr Suarez 5.2 4 0 23-Apr Rodriguez 4.1 11 7 24-Apr Kremer 5.1 3 2 26-Apr Burnes 6 3 1 27-Apr Irvin 7 4 0 28-Apr Suarez 4 7 4 29-Apr Rodriguez 5.2 5 0 30-Apr Kremer 7 4 2 1-May Burnes 6 4 2 2-May Bradish 4.2 4 1 3-May Irvin 6.1 2 0 4-May Means 7 3 0 5-May Kremer 6 1 0 -
Somehow feels typical of Orioles to play up to the competition, and get burned by the pretenders... same with individual starting pitchers.

It was very obvious ...he would also take a look at his hand frequently. On Saturday, watching a clip in the dugout after one of the HR's, Kremer went to give a high five, pulled back and took a look at his hand. I thought it strange, and I thought something was off. He always appeared to be one of the more enthusiastic celebrators. It would seem the coaches would notice and probably did, but thought nothing of it. Certainly didn't affect his game. -

I just looked thru their record a while ago. Series against the Nats (2), White Sox, Marlins, Cardinals, Rockies and Angels makes their record of 1 win better than the O's way less impressive. Their schedule coming up must be hell.
