Worst ERA Through 4 Games in Cleveland

August 10, 2026

It’s been a rough start for Craig Yoho, who has struggled since coming over from Milwaukee in July.

Through four outings Yoho has allowed seven runs, posting an 18.90 ERA.

Here are the worst ERAs through a player’s first four appearances with Cleveland:

2004 Scott Stewart, 81.00
1946 Les Webber, 23.63
2026 Craig Yoho, 18.90
1999 Jerry Spradlin, 18.00
1966 Dick Radatz, 18.00
1963 Jack Curtis, 18.00
1991 Tom Kramer, 17.36

Stewart’s record is probably unbreakable, as it was largely made possible due to his usage as a lefty specialist. He only faced five batters through those four games.

Worst Starts thru 3 Games

August 8, 2023

Padres deadline acquisition Scott Barlow has an incredible 21.60 ERA through his first three appearances with San Diego.

Obviously that got me wondering what’s the worst start to a Cleveland career…

Worst ERA through three games with Cleveland:

81.00 – Scott Stewart, 2004
27.00 – Phil Hennigan, 1969
23.15 – Winston Abreu, 2009
23.15 – Chris Perez, 2009
23.15 – Ron Nischwitz, 1963
22.50 – Dick Radatz, 1966
22.09 – Tom Kramer, 1991

Abreu and Perez’s streaks overlapped, as Abreu made his debut in relief Perez in his third game (July 7, 2009) and they combined to give up six runs in one inning of work against the White Sox.
