He let up a HR in the first start but for whatever reason it was unearned. Can't beat a 16 inning SHO in his second start, though.

You could try and make an argument for Bob Gibson in 1968, but the list was missing a few of Pedro gems from 2000.
| PLAYER | FCB SCORE | IP | OUTS | H | ER | BB | SO | DATE |
| Pedro Martinez | 41.0 | 18 | 54 | 8 | 1 | 1 | 32 | May 6 & 12, 2000 |
| Pedro Martinez | 36.0 | 17 | 51 | 7 | 1 | 1 | 24 | Aug 29 & Sep 4, 2000 |
| Pedro Martinez | 35.5 | 17 | 51 | 6 | 0 | 2 | 19 | May 28 & June 8, 2000 |
| Pedro Martinez | 31.5 | 17 | 51 | 11 | 1 | 3 | 27 | July 18 & 23, 2000 |
That's a pretty amazing stretch.

Lack of strikeouts really hurt him or else he would have several more 31+ scores.
