Through a starter’s first 19 outings of a season, Eovaldi’s 1.38 ERA is the fifth-lowest ever, trailing only Bob Gibson (1.06, 1968), Luis Tiant (1.27, 1968), Zack Greinke (1.30, 2015), and Vida Blue (1.37, 1971).

Well, that's what Texas Rangers ace Nathan Eovaldi is doing right now. Eovaldi has allowed one run or fewer in 13 of his last 14 starts. The only other pitcher to do that ever, according to OptaStats, is Gibson in 1968.
