Consecutive Scoreless Postseason Innings Pitched, rank

• Mariano Rivera 33.1 NYY

• Whitey Ford 33.0 NYY

• Babe Ruth 29.0 BOS

• Christy Mathewson 28.0 NYG

• Jonathan Papelbon 24.0

• Lew Burdette 24.0 MIL

• George Earnshaw 22.0 Phil

• Orel Hershiser 21.1 LA

• Joe Niekro 20.0

• Bob Gibson 19.0 StL

As of 10/17/08. Historical records from CNNSI.com, 10/14/2000.

• I added Joe Niekro based on his record listed in Baseball-Reference. Papelbon's numbers have been publicized around the clock across MLB/ESPN platforms. Unfortunately, MLB/ESPN continually say Papelbon is #1 in this category-- in history--, which is not the case.
