Elias also notes, since the American League began tracking earned runs in 1913, three Yankees pitchers have started seasons with at least 15 consecutive appearances in which they were not charged with an earned run: Lee Guetterman (19 games from 4/6-5/19/89), RHP Dellin Betances (17G this season, 19.1IP, 30K) and LHP Andrew Miller (15G this season, 15.2IP, 26K).
