Yovani Gallardo pitched seven solid innings today, allowing two runs on four hits and striking out nine. He's now pitched seven or more innings in five consecutive starts, which is nowhere near the franchise record:
| Pitcher | Starts | Season(s) |
| Bill Wegman | 23 | 1991-92 |
| Lary Sorensen | 17 | 1978 |
| Mike Caldwell | 15 | 1982-83 |
| Marty Pattin | 14 | 1970 |
| Moose Haas | 13 | 1980 |
| Mike Caldwell | 13 | 1978 |
Gallardo is, however, one of just four pitchers who have pitched seven or more innings in five consecutive games during the Miller Park Era. One of those pitchers did it five times:
| Pitcher | Starts | Season(s) |
| Chris Capuano | 6 | 2005 |
| Yovani Gallardo | 5 | 2012 |
| Ben Sheets | 5 | 2006 |
| Ben Sheets | 5 | 2004-05 |
| Ben Sheets | 5 | 2004 |
| Ben Sheets | 5 | 2004 |
| Ben Sheets | 5 | 2004 |
| Ruben Quevedo | 5 | 2002 |
In the fourth of his five streaks above Ben Sheets also struck out 46 opposing batters over 36.1 innings. Gallardo's nine strikeouts today brought him up to 35 in his streak.
