On April 28, 1985, Los Angeles Dodgers legend Fernando Valenzuela made baseball history by setting an MLB record with 41 consecutive scoreless innings.
Valenzuela's streak was snapped in the ninth inning when Tony Gwynn hit a go-ahead home run to lead the Padres to a 1-0 victory, despite Valenzuela finishing with 10 strikeouts.
Lack of run support had been a consistent theme for Valenzuela through the first month of the 1985 season, reflected in his 0.29 ERA and 2-3 record.
Valenzuela ended the 1985 season with impressive stats, including a 2.45 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 208 strikeouts, and being named to his fifth All-Star Game.
