In 1986 Roger McDowell won 14 games without a single start. Is this a record?

Question

JJ- You're not quite there. Most wins in relief is not the same as most wins without a start. Someone could have started a game and won twenty in relief, but that's not what I am looking for. Most wins without a start.

Answer 1

Elroy Face went 18-1 without making a start in 1959. Don't know if that's the record but it is the best that I can find.

Answer 2

Most wins in relief, zero starts:

18, Roy Face, 1959 Pirates.

17, John Hiller, 1974 Tigers.

17, Bill Campbell, 1976 Twins.

Four with 16 wins & zero starts.

Six with 15.

Twelve with 14, including McDowell. Along with Mark Eichhorn, who also had 14/0 in 1986 for the Blue Jays, this is the most recent occurrence of 14+ wins in a season with no starts.

Answer 3

Yes, That Is The Most Single Season  Wins By A Reliever.

EDIT: Oh..Sorry Bill My Bad.
