Some more stats.

Quote:
- The five shutouts are tied for the most in a season by an American League pitcher since 1989, joining Bert Blyleven (’89), Roger Clemens (’92) and David Wells (’98).

- He joins Mark Langston (September 1988) as the only pitcher in Mariners history with three shutouts in one calendar month.

- Only two other pitchers in Major League history have had three 1-0 shutout wins in a calendar month: Carl Hubbell for the Giants (July 1933) and the Braves’ Dick Rudolph (August 1916).

- He’s the first Major League pitcher since Randy Johnson in 1998 with the Astros to record five shutouts in a 12-start span.

- Hernandez’s 16 starts of seven-plus innings with one or fewer runs is a Mariners record, breaking the mark of 15 he set during his 2010 Cy Young season.

- Going into Tuesday’s games, he had the lowest ERA in the Major Leagues (2.43), the most innings pitched (196 2/3), was third in strikeouts (184) and sixth in batting average against (.218).
