He is the only pitcher in the modern era (live ball) to have led his league in ERA & have a losing record.
In '87, he had an ERA of 2.76 & finished 8 & 16.
Started 34 games, was pitcher of record in only 24, 6&2/3rds innings per start, 1.3 strikeouts per inning.& Batting average against was .200.
He actually had a great season, but the Astros were so bad that year, he never got the run support.
