After that, he never allowed a runner into scoring position and did not allow a hit after the leadoff batter in the second inning. He retired 10 batters in a row before he issued a two-out walk in the sixth inning. He exited the game after 5 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing two hits and three walks with seven strikeouts. He has pitched 13 1/3 consecutive scoreless innings. Robinson got the final out of the sixth inning and worked around two walks in 3 1/3 hitless innings.
