Yeah, yeah, okay — yes, pitching six wonderful innings in relief of a starter that couldn’t make it out of the second, that’s the real story for Touki Toussaint. But a reliever pitching six innings isn’t even rare: it’s already happened once this season (Adrian Sampson, for the Rangers, in relief of a Drew Smyly who only lasted three frames). Here’s the real weird thing: Touki Toussaint got four, count ‘em, four plate appearances in this game.
Using the Baseball Reference Play Index, I queried the last time any relief pitcher got four plate appearances in a game.
