Slayback appeared in 16 games during the 1974 season, four of those starts, and posted a 1-3 record with a 4.77 earned run average in 54.2 innings of work.
The previous year, he barely saw any big league action when he pitched in three games and only 2 innings, but his “rookie” year of 1972 gave him the bulk of his playing time when suited up for 23 games, going 5-6 over 81.2 innings.
All told he posted a 6-9 record in the Majors, with a 3.84 ERA in 42 games, 17 of which were starts, along with a shutout over 138.1 innings pitched.
