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.
