Ryan Weathers made his New York Yankees debut on Monday night in Seattle.
Against the Mariners, the former Padres and Marlins left-handed pitcher ended his night with a stat line that had never quite been done in MLB history.
It’s not that Weathers did anything remarkably exceptional. It’s just that the history of baseball is quirky, and Weathers is now a part of it.
Weathers finished the night going 4.1 innings, allowing 4 hits and 2 walks, giving up 1 earned run and striking out 7.

Weathers’ line had never happened before.

The unique key here for Weathers was likely the fact that he didn’t even go five innings but also only gave up one run, and compiled a solid strikeout total.
Usually pitchers who give up just one run would last longer than that. Or if they came out early, it may be due to injury, and the strikeout number wouldn’t be as high.
But in the first start of the season, the Yankees didn’t push Weathers too deep into the game. They got a solid outing from him over four-plus innings, then allowed the bullpen to come in and try to keep it rolling.
The Yankees’ offense struggled, though, and the Mariners walked it off with a 2-1 win in the bottom of the ninth.
