1977 Topps Baseball #444 - Wayne Twitchell

  • Wayne Twitchell started the season with the Phillies, but he was demoted to the bullpen in late May after going 0-4 in eight starts. On June 15 Wayne was traded with Tim Blackwell to the Montreal Expos for Barry Foote and Dan Warthen. Twitchell pitched better for the Expos and had a few no decisions in games he should have won.
  • 1977 Stats:
    • Philadelphia Phillies - 0-5, 4.53 ERA in 12 games (8 starts)
    • Montreal Expos - 6-5, 4.21 ERA in 22 starts
    • TOTAL: 6-10, 4.29 ERA in 34 games (30 starts)
  • 1977 Highlights:
    • June 24 - Pitched seven perfect innings before allowing an infield single to Bill Robinson in the 8th inning. Unfortunately the Expos lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-5.
    • Aug 13 - Pitched nine shutout innings, but the Expos weren't able to score either. The Expos lost the game 1-0 in ten innings.
