This was the 455th time in major-league history that someone’s pitched a complete game after allowing eight runs or more. The last to do it was Randy Johnson in 1998.
More importantly, most of the people who’ve done it were old-timey pitchers, which means we get some awesome names. The top-ten names among pitchers who allowed at least eight runs in a complete game:
