Per MLB.com, the only longer shutout droughts on record were the 1893-96 Washington Senators (383) and the 1897-99 St. Louis Browns/Perfectos (298), back when baseball was basically a different sport.
The pitchers responsible for the history were starting pitcher Tanner Gordon and relievers Jimmy Herget and Tyler Kinley, who combined to allow five hits total.
From MLB.com:
“I did not know that,” Rockies interim manager Warren Schaeffer said. “That’s a long time — 220 games. I’m glad we shut them out today behind Gordon.”
