Roy Face pitched in 57 games for the Pirates in 1959, all of them in relief, compiling a ridiculous record of 18-1 (he also added 10 saves). Face's winning percentage that year of .947 is also an all-time single season record. Sam was the closest.

I remember Roger McDowell winning a bunch in 1986... I don't know how many offhand, though, but it was somewhere in the teens... Oh, wait.

I remember Dennis Cook had ten a few years ago for the Mets, and I think Danny Graves did too around the same time for Cinci. I'm stumped. This really is a tough one.

I'm guessing 14 wins, but I don't know who did it. Probably one of the Phillies' shitty relievers that kept blowing saves but recording wins win the team came back in the bottom of the 9th. Hah.

Although it just so happens that the actual record holder didn't make any starts that year...
