I wonder what the MLB record is for most innings thrown by two pitchers in a doubleheader is? Two complete games would be 18 (obvs)
Or barring two complete games, what's the fewest innings thrown in relief combined over a doubleheader.
Here's a list of everyone with two complete game wins on the same day. As you can imagine, the most recent one was in the 20s. And yes, Old Hoss is on that list.
Jack Stivetts leads with 20 innings pitched.
Update: D. J. Baxendale will pitch for Fort Myers tonight.
