Blanco didn’t allow a hit until facing his 51st batter of the season, and the 44 outs he recorded before giving up his first hit are the most by a pitcher to begin a season in at least the expansion era (since 1961). It’s the second-longest consecutive outs streak in club history behind Mike Scott’s 51 outs during his National League Cy Young season in 1986.
