Seattle Mariners legend and team Hall of Famer Randy Johnson got some company in baseball history this week, thanks to another dominant outing from Philadelphia Phillies' lefty Jesus Luzardo.

Pitching against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday, Luzardo went six strong innings, striking out 10. He's now 5-0 with a 1.95 ERA in Philadelphia, who acquired him from the Miami Marlins this past offseason.

Per @OptaSTATS on social media:

Since ERA became official in both leagues in 1913, two MLB lefties have gone undefeated with a sub-2.00 ERA and 10.00+ K/9 over their first 10 starts of a season.

One is the @Phillies' Jesús Luzardo this year.

The other was Randy Johnson in 1995.

That 1995 season was one of the best of Johnson's illustrious 22-year career in which he played for the Montreal Expos, Mariners, Houston Astros, Arizona Diamondbacks, New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants.

Johnson spent parts of eight seasons with the Mariners, going 130-74 in that time. He won the Cy Young Award in that 1995 campaign as he went 18-2 and led the Mariners to the first playoff berth in team history. All in all, Johnson was a five-time Cy Young winner. He was a 10-time All-Star and a 2001 World Series champion (D-backs). He went into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2015. He is also a member of the Mariners Hall of Fame.

Johnson was traded by the Mariners to the Astros in the midst of the 1998 season. In that deal, the M's got back shortstop Carlos Guillen and pitchers Freddy Garcia and John Halama, each of which were part of the team's ALCS run in 2000 and 2001.
