What ML pitching record does Steve Gerkin hold??

[RascalJones]

Most losses in a season without a win.

1945 0-12

[hhascup]

Terry Felton was 0-13 in 1982

I didn't word this question quite correctly so let me add that Paul Brown also shares this record with Gerkin.

[hhascup]

Well they both started 12 games without a win.

Well they both started 12 games without a win.


And the significance of that is.....?

[hhascup]

I guess that's the most starts without a win.

Vida Blue had 14 starts without a win in 1983. He had an 0-5 record.

That's almost it. Just add add "In a career". Gerkin was 0-12 and Brown was 0-8 in 12 career starts. Gerkin lost at least one game in relief.

Vida Blue had 14 starts without a win in 1983. He had an 0-5 record.


Vida holds the single season mark of most starts without a win, but managed to win a game in other seasons. Gerkin's career was "one and done" but Brown actually appeared in four different seasons.

[hhascup]

Yes, I meant to put in career.

[KCBOOMER]

Yes, I meant to put in career.


I understand. That's why I went ahead and completed the question.
