On August 12^th, 2016, Phillies pitcher Jake Thompson did something no Phillies pitcher had ever done. Thompson had 4 strikeouts in the 2^nd inning vs Colorado Rockies. It was just Thompson’s 2nd MLB game, and 6^th MLB inning pitched.  It was the 47^th 4-strikeout inning in National League history.
