Williams didn’t have such a great season for the Giants in 1972, appearing in only three games and going 0-2 with a dreadful 8.68 earned run average over 9.1 innings.
His 1973 season wasn’t all that much better, even though he did post a record of 3-0 over 12 appearances, with a slightly “better” ERA of 6.65 over 23 innings of work.
Turns out he would end up pitching seven years for the Giants after that one year in Flushing, generally an arm out of the bullpen with some solid years in the middle of the decade.
By the time he retired after the 1978 season at the age of 30, he finished his Big League career with a record of 23-22 over 268 appearances, with an ERA of 3.97 with four saves in 573.1 innings.
