Probably you already noticed, but ...

 

Last Sunday (5/14), San Diego's Clay Hensley struck out 5 times, while teammate Brian Giles walked 5 times.  Apparently both of these "achievements" tied major league records (for 9 innings).  For no good reason, I'm wondering if this has ever happened before.

 

Also unworthy of note:  By shutting out the Cubs 9-0, Hensley also tied the record (held by many) for fewest runs allowed in 9 innings. 

 

I didn't say this was important.  Just odd.
