On this date in 2012, Zack Greinke became the first pitcher to start three consecutive games in the same season since 1917. The Brewers’ right-hander was the starting pitcher in the team’s final two games before the All-Star break. Greinke started the Saturday prior to the break only to be ejected after throwing just four pitches, so manager Ron Roenicke let him start the next day’s game. Greinke then made it three straight starts when he took the mound to begin the second half of the season. Here’s this week’s look around the baseball blogosphere..
