Things are looking up for Gagne, though. In his most recent appearance, he finally allowed only one baserunner. He had a nice 2+ streak going before that.
In all seriousness, his numbers are just horrible, dating back to before he joined the Red Sox. His streak of 10 appearances with a hit includes his last 5 games with Texas. Notice that he's compiled an ERA at least twice as high as every other guy on this list.

Can you write more details about how to generate this table with this special record by PI? I can't figure out how to do it. Thanks.
