Game Scores

Whenever I see a gem like last night's 1-0 double complete game won by Joe Blanton and lost by Carlos Silva, I like to turn to game scores. You would think an eight inning complete game loss like that would rank high, but his game score of 69 ranks just eighth on the list of losses. Interestingly, Mark Buehrle has the overall high game score of the season with his no-hitter, and the high loss as well with his 76 for his two-hitter, 2-0 loss to the Blue Jays on the last day of May.

Blanton's game, however, ranks third overall with an 87, sandwiched between Felix Hernandez's first two starts of the season. What's surprising to me is that in a year when offense is down, there aren't many outstanding game scores. Buehrle is the only one over 90. That's probably a function of a lack of complete games.
