Biographical Information

On July 22, 2021, P Brooks Kriske of the New York Yankees tied a major league record by unloading 4 wild pitches in the 10th inning of a 5-4 loss to the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. The Sox had tied the game dramatically by scoring twice with two outs in the bottom of the 9th, then the Yankees had managed to cash in their designated runner in the top of the 10th. With closer Aroldis Chapman unavailable and a few other relievers having already been used in the game, Kriske was tasked with closing out the win, but things did not go as planned as his first two wild offerings resulted in Rafael Devers scoring the tying run, after which Xander Bogaerts, who had reached on a walk, successively advanced to second and third base on two more wild pitches before being driven in by Hunter Renfroe on a sacrifice fly. The 4 wild pitches also set a new record for most thrown by a pitcher in extra innings.
