Here's the story of one of oddest stat lines ever:


From my ongoing slow play alternate history universe:




August 25, 1990. Dodgers prospect and rookie Arthur Rhodes, pressed into ML service due to injuries, takes his 0-5 record into the game. Rhodes throws 8 no hit innings, and comes out for the 9th already having thrown over 130 pitches. Even with a 4-0 lead he proceeds to walk the bases loaded and has to be pulled for the closer John Franco never having allowed a hit. But you see, he threw 152 pitches, and only 73 were for strikes. You see Rhodes walked a MLB record 14 batters over 8 innings. Franco gave up 2 hits and the Mets scored 4 times to tie it up. LA would go on to win the game in the 15th. Rhodes is still winless for his career, despite the near no-no.



8IP, 0H, 2R, 2ER, 14 BB, 4 K 152P 73K


So close to infamy.
