Yusmeiro Petit set the MLB single-season record by retiring 46 straight batters, breaking Mark Buehrle's mark of 45 set in 2009.




Giants manager Bruce Bochy said he will weigh his options but admitted it will be hard to take Petit out of the rotation.
"What a roll to get on to have that kind of record," Bochy said. "As long as this game's been going on, now he's got it."
