Post-War Tigers Pitchers

[Ben Grimm]

I'll toss one more out there...

Calling post-WWII the modern era, there have been 5 Detroit Tigers pitchers to throw 8+ Ks in at least 5 consecutive games.

Who are they?

3: Denny McLain (ian2813)
4: Hal Newhouser (ian2813)
5: Max Scherzer (Spindlebrook)

This is easy. Like all my questions, it doesn't require BB-Ref or a baseball encyclopedia to get the answers. This, among my others is what I call bar trivia - questions you can actually answer in a bar with nothing but your frosty brew in front of you. Cheers

There are several obvious candidates:

Jack Morris
Justin Verlander
Mickey Lolich
Denny McLain
Hal Newhouser

All right then, how about Frank Lary?

Good call. Not Lary, but this pitcher did it rather recently which stemmed the question.

[Spindlebrook]

Max Scherzer?
