Joe Musgrove endured a sudden and through cavity search for sticky substances after Buck Showalter asked for a check, and still managed to make playoff history against the hapless Mets lineup.
Musgrove tossed seven shutout innings in Sunday’s game three, and allowed just one hit in the process, becoming the first pitcher in MLB postseason history to pitch at least seven innings and allow less than two hits in a winner-take-all game, according to Sarah Langs.
Musgrove, not known for his velocity but much more known for his ability to induce weak contact, struck out five along the way and let out plenty of primal roars while he mowed down the New York lineup, and gave a few looks over towards the Mets dugout after umpires were summoned to check his ears, hat, and glove.
