This is the third-longest streak since 1901.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>This is special.<\/p><cite>Alex Cora, Manager of the Red Sox<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nChapman has allowed only one earned run in his last 37 games and has retired 21 consecutive batters before Ildemaro Vargas of the Arizona Diamondbacks reached first base after a strikeout on a wild pitch.\n\nChapman earned his 29th save, becoming the second pitcher to record four strikeouts in an inning this season.\n\nWith an effectiveness of 0.98, Chapman has allowed only six earned runs all season.\n\nChapman has built his reputation as a power pitcher over 16 years, recording speeds of 100 mph on the radar. He has thrown eight of the nine fastest pitches in baseball history, including one of 105.8 mph in 2010, the fastest in MLB history.\n\nIn addition to his power, Chapman has added cunning to his repertoire, confusing batters with sliders and splitters.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>My mindset is to get three outs and look for the strikeout.<\/p><cite>Aroldis Chapman<\/cite><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman continues to demonstrate his dominance on the mound, adding another outstanding performance to his already impressive season.
