McLain has hit a rough patch in the replay. This was his worst start by far. He has dropped his last two decisions, this time, losing 8 to 1, to the Oakland Athletics. His streak of quality starts also comes to an end at twenty in a row. By losing this game, Denny has lost one more than in real life.
