18 wins, 20 losses gets us there.
19 wins, 19 losses gets us 91. One more than last year!
Folty needs to go deep into the game tonight, making up for the loss last night.
He also hit a home run in the 1970 World Series for the Reds helping them win their only game in that World Series.Cloninger was the opening day starter for the Braves on April 12, 1966 after the franchise moved from Milwaukee. At Atlanta Stadium, Cloninger threw all 13 innings in a 3-2 loss to Pittsburgh.
He pitched until 1972. His arm didn’t fall off from all those pitches in that game.
