Gavin Williams went 0-7 in his seven starts at Progressive Field this season, becoming the fifth pitcher in franchise history to fail to record a win in at least seven home starts.
The others:
- 2012 Corey Kluber, 0-4
- 1979 Eric Wilkins, 0-1
- 1973 Dick Bosman, 0-3
- 1971 Steve Hargan, 0-7
Cleveland won at least one home game started by each of the other pitchers, however. So Williams is the first player in franchise history to make at least seven starts at home and have the team go winless in every game – a streak which was unfortunately extended to eight games in the ALCS against the Yankees.
The previous record for most home starts without the team recording a win was six by Wayne Garland in 1981, his final season with the Tribe.
