Medlen did it again.

ESPN - Braves win MLB record 23rd straight game started by Kris Medlen

ATLANTA -- Kris Medlen did his part to ensure Chipper Jones' last regular-season home game was a win.

The Braves won for a major league record 23rd straight time in games started by Medlen, beating the New York Mets 6-2 on Sunday as a sellout crowd cheered Jones' every move.

"I think the best part about it is my name is in the history books, but it's a team thing," Medlen said. "It's a really cool feeling. Like I said, we're not done. I hope we keep going."

According to STATS LLC research going back to 1921, only two other teams won 22 straight starts by a pitcher: the New York Giants with Carl Hubbell (1936-37) and the Yankees with Whitey Ford (1950-53). Ford's streak was interrupted by military service.

Atlanta is 12-0 in Medlen's starts this season after he moved to the rotation on July 31. The team's streak of 23 straight wins in Medlen's starts began in 2010.

In his 12 starts this year, he's 9-0 with a 0.97 ERA. That's insane.

Medlen isn't even the best pitcher on the Braves. There's some guy named Craig Kimbrel who should win the Cy Young.
