The Life and Times of Mark Buehrle Addendum

Just another point to add to the post below regarding what Mark Buehrle has already accomplished.

5. Tonight against the Twins, he pitched the first 5 2/3 innings perfectly. Combine this with the perfect game against the Ray and the previous game against the Orioles, he retired 45 batters in a row, setting a new major league record. He surpassed San Francisco's Jim Barr (1972) and teammate Bobby Jenks (2007) who retired 41 in a row.
