On Aug. 27, 1924 Ted Lyons did something that would probably not happen today. He pitched 8-2/3 innings (which could still happen but does not very often) and gave up 15 hits and 9 runs (8 earned). It is doubtful a pitcher today would be in the game long enough to allow that many runs (or runners). I can't find a pitch count, but I would guess it was "a lot".
He took a 12-3 lead into the ninth but was taken out with the score 12-8 and runners on first and second. Sarge Connally came in and got the (retroactively credited) save by walking one, hitting a batter to force in a run, and getting the last batter to ground out.
