Shane McClanahan of the Tampa Bay Rays started last season’s All-Star Game and is 7-0. His mastery of four elite pitches can make things seem “impossible.”

The Rays improved to 12-0 on Wednesday and are one win short of the modern record to start a season. But can they also catch the 1884 St. Louis Maroons?
