According to the Red Sox, Aaron Cook's performance Friday night was indeed a rarity.

Since 1988 (pitch count records are sketchy before then), Cook is the first Red Sox pitcher to record a nine-inning complete game with 81 pitches or fewer.

Roger Clemens, you may recall, had an 86-pitch one-hit shutout of the Indians in 1988.
