Tanana was the bad-luck pitcher on May 30, 1977, when Dennis Eckersley pitched a 1-0 no-hitter for the Indians against the Angels.
Tanana was still a fine pitcher after he lost his heater, but his very best seasons occurred in his young Angels days.
But perhaps due to pitch count, Tanana was pulled to start the ninth, finishing with 17 strikeouts and failing to get the chance to tie the ML record of 19 in a game.
