Strahler appeared in 22 games for Detroit, 11 of them starts, on his way to a 4-5 record with a 4.37 earned run average over 80.1 innings pitched.
It would be almost double the playing time he saw in any of his other three seasons with L.A., pretty much equaling his inning-total thus far as a pro.
All told he wound up with a 6-8 career record, along with a 3.57 E.R.A. over 53 appearances, 13 of them starts, and 158.2 innings.
