At 28, MP was somewhat old for a rookie, but pitched well for the team and eventually made it to the starting rotation by the 1993 season. That same year he posted an impressive ERA of 2.29. Seattle Mariners MP was traded to the Seattle Mariners after the 1996 season in exchange for Chris Widger and Trey Moore, MP had one of his best seasons for the Mariners in 1997. That season he posted a 16-9 won-loss record with a 3.61 ERA in 35 starts. Rangers, Red Sox, Cubs, Cardinals MP enjoyed some stability during his time with the Mariners, but after a mid-season trade to the Texas Rangers in 1999 he would wind up playing on eight different teams in only seven seasons. He proved to no longer be effective as a regular starter, so he was moved into the bullpen. While with the St. Louis Cardinals, MP made a few starts in the 2003 season, and would make occasional starts until the end of his career. Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks While with the Colorado Rockies in 2004, MP got into a dispute with Colorado management when he was called on to make a spot start on short notice. MP said that he would not be ready in time, and was subsequently released by the Rockies due to what then-manager Clint Hurdle called "philosophical differences". He almost immediately signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks, but he only made one appearance with the team, pitching one perfect inning in relief. San Francisco Giants MP signed with the Giants on December 15, 2004, and remained on the team until May 8, 2006 when the Giants designated MP for assignment. The move cleared room on the team's roster for left-handed starting pitcher Noah Lowry. On February 9, 2007 he announced his retirement. In the winter of 2008, though, MP pitched with Mayos de Navojoa in Liga Mexicana del Pac�fico before he finally retired for good. Minor League Coach MP was hired in December 2009 as the pitching coach for the Boise Hawks, a minor league affiliate of the Chicago Cubs in the Class 'A' short-season Northwest League. For the 2011 season, MP was promoted to pitching coach of the Peoria Chiefs in the Midwest League. MP received a promotion to the Double-A Tennessee Smokies (Chicago Cubs) for the 2012 season.

That's four strikeouts in a row, which is as almost many as Tony Gwynn had against those four guys COMBINED. (Langston zero, Brown zero, Sid 2, Scott 3) edit: Sutcliffe three.
