Richard Fitts of the Boston Red Sox has made history by becoming only the second pitcher in Major League Baseball to start his career with three consecutive scoreless outings of five or more innings. The 24-year-old right-hander achieved this milestone on Friday against the Minnesota Twins, throwing five shutout innings with three strikeouts.

Fitts' journey began with an impressive 5 2/3 scoreless innings in his debut versus the Chicago White Sox and continued with another stellar five-inning performance against the New York Yankees, a team that originally drafted him in 2021.
