Over 59 consecutive innings, opposing hitters did not score a <a href="/wiki/Run_(baseball)" title="Run (baseball)">run</a> against Hershiser.

The streak spanned from the sixth inning of an August 30 game against the <a href="/wiki/1988_Montreal_Expos_season" title="1988 Montreal Expos season">Montreal Expos</a> to the 10th inning of a September 28 game against the <a href="/wiki/1988_San_Diego_Padres_season" title="1988 San Diego Padres season">San Diego Padres</a>.

Pundits have described the streak as among the greatest records in baseball history, with one pundit ranking it among the greatest individual feats in American sports. </p><p>During the streak, the <a href="/wiki/Elias_Sports_Bureau" title="Elias Sports Bureau">Elias Sports Bureau</a> changed its criteria for the official consecutive scoreless innings record for <a href="/wiki/Starting_pitcher" title="Starting pitcher">starting pitchers</a> from including fractional innings in which one or two <a href="/wiki/Out_(baseball)" title="Out (baseball)">outs</a> had been recorded to counting only complete scoreless innings. Since the streak was active at the end of the 1988 season, it could have spanned two separate seasons. However, Hershiser yielded a run in his first inning of work in the 1989 season against the <a href="/wiki/1989_Cincinnati_Reds_season" title="1989 Cincinnati Reds season">Cincinnati Reds</a>, thus ending the streak at 59 consecutive scoreless innings pitched. The streak includes only innings pitched in the regular season, excluding eight scoreless innings Hershiser pitched to start Game 1 of the <a href="/wiki/1988_National_League_Championship_Series" title="1988 National League Championship Series">1988 National League Championship Series</a> on October 4 (unofficially extending his streak to 67 combined innings). Although he completed the ninth inning in each start, the streak's final game lasted 16 innings, of which he pitched only the first 10. Thus, Hershiser did not match Drysdale's record of six consecutive <a href="/wiki/Complete_game" title="Complete game">complete game</a> <a href="/wiki/Shutouts_in_baseball" class="mw-redirect" title="Shutouts in baseball">shutouts</a>. Like Drysdale's streak, the penultimate game of Hershiser's streak was a <a href="/wiki/Dodgers%E2%80%93Giants_rivalry" title="Dodgers–Giants rivalry">Dodgers–Giants</a> game that featured a controversial umpire's ruling that saved the streak. </p><p>The streak was initially overshadowed by Hershiser achieving 20 wins and the race for the NL <a href="/wiki/Cy_Young_Award" title="Cy Young Award">Cy Young Award</a> between Hershiser and <a href="/wiki/Danny_Jackson" title="Danny Jackson">Danny Jackson</a> until Hershiser reached 40 consecutive innings. Another distraction during the streak was his wife's pregnancy and his son's childbirth complications. The record-setting game was overshadowed by the <a href="/wiki/1988_Summer_Olympics" title="1988 Summer Olympics">1988 Summer Olympics</a>, <a href="/wiki/American_football" title="American football">football</a>, and baseball <a href="/wiki/Pennant_race" class="mw-redirect" title="Pennant race">pennant races</a>; it was not broadcast on local television in Los Angeles. Following the regular season, Hershiser was awarded the NL Cy Young Award.
