Stat of the year

With Paul Maholm's no decision Sunday, thanks in large part to Denny Bautista blowing the lead, the Pirates have a very good chance of not having a starting pitcher win 10 games this season.

How rare is this? It has happened only twice in the club's 122-year history. The last time was the strike-shortened 1981 season when Rick Rhoden won nine games and the Pirates were 46-56. The other time was 1890 when Billy Gumbert led the Pirates with four wins during a 23-113 season.
