A few NPB teams have gone streaking over the past few weeks, putting on display results, both good and bad, that have made for some historical moments on the diamond.
These runs involve three teams, the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters, Fukuoka Softbank Hawks and Hiroshima Carp, and two players, the Fighters' Yu Darvish and Ryosuke Hirata of the Chunichi Dragons.
Among that group, the Fighters' lengthy scoreless inning streak - which spanned parts of seven games — was the most impressive.
