Oakland To Cooper's Town



Brad Ziegler set the major league record for scoreless innings to start a career. Ziegler gave up two singles in two innings to extend his scoreless streak to 27 and break a record that had stood since 1907.

Afterward, the 28-year-old kept two balls from his outing but planned to send the rest -- along with a pair of his shoes and a hat -- to the Hall of Fame."I don't know if that's something I'd ever thought I'd have to do as long as it wasn't a real embarrassing moment or someone else's highlight, but it's pretty incredible," Ziegler said. "It's real special. I feel like I've worked real hard to get here. Thankfully it's not over yet. Hopefully we can keep it going."
