Craig loses 10th straight start

Roger Craig pitched well in 1963, but the Mets offense failed to give him any run support. On this date, Craig dropped his 10th straight decision on his way to losing 18 consecutive decisions.

Dateline: June 29, 1963.

Don’t blame Roger Craig. The New York Mets ace lost his 10th straight start against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Forbes Field despite another quality start. Craig pitched eight innings, allowing three runs in the loss. The Mets only mustered five hits and one run.
