Hoyt Wilhelm of the Baltimore Orioles makes one of the greatest relief appearances ever
On August 6, 1959, White Sox lefty Billy Pierce and the Orioles P Billy O’Dell are even up 1 – 1 when Hoyt Wilhelm relieves in the 9th for Baltimore. Wilhelm tosses 8 2/3 innings of no-hit ball before allowing a safety. After 18 innings and the score still at 1 – 1, the game is mercifully called because of the midnight curfew. Pierce goes 16 innings before he gets relief from Turk Lown.
