During today's game between New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays, a rare feat happened... Phil Hughes of the Yankees struck out four Blue Jays in one inning!
Hughes struck out J.P. Arencibia for the first out, then also fanned Adeiny Hechavarria; however, the last pitch of the at-bat tipped catcher Russell Martin’s glove and became a passed ball, allowing Hechavarria to reach first safely on the dropped third strike rule, which occurs when a catcher fails to cleanly catch the ball that led to the third strike.
The right-hander then went on to strike out Anthony Gose swinging and got Brett Lawrie on a called third strike to end the fourth inning.
