The strikeout-but-not-really scoring rule is one of the Great Baseball Things.

I caught this checking on my spofi league stats last night and saw Cobb's line. My eyes nearly popped out of my head.

Padres - Rays game sounds like some of the youth baseball games I've worked. You never quite know what to expect.

Rare event last night in the Tampa Bay Rays baseball game.
Their starting pitcher Alex Cobb struck out 13 batters in 4 2/3 innings.
Only two batters were put out by fielder plays.
Even more rare was the fact that the Padres scored a run in an inning without ever getting a hit, drawing a walk, benefiting from a fielder's error, or even just putting the ball in play.
San Diego - Top of 3rd
Alex Cobb pitching for Tampa Bay
W.Venable struck out swinging, W Venable safe at first on wild pitch by A Cobb.
C.Headley struck out swinging, W Venable stole second.
W.Venable stole third.
C.Quentin struck out swinging.
W.Venable scored on A Cobb's balk.
Y.Alonso struck out swinging.
Four batters faced, four batters struck out, one run scored.
