3 unusual facts about Mike Loynd


Mike Loynd

After Tony Fernández connected off him for a home run that pushed the score to 7-0, Loynd vented his anger by hitting the next batter, Lloyd Moseby, with a pitch.

After his next three starts resulted in no decisions, Loynd was back in the win column again on Thursday, August 14, 1986 after defeating Teddy Higuera and the Milwaukee Brewers 8 to 2.

Like the much heralded David Clyde in 1973, Loynd was expected to contribute immediately upon being called to the Majors.
