Kravec went 0-1 with a 6.23 earned run average in 4.1 innings, walking eight while striking out one batter.
He’d have a decent three year run between 1977 and 1979 when he gave the White Sox a reliable arm, averaging about 200 innings a year, with a high of 250 in 1979.
That 1979 season saw him win 15 games with three shutouts and 10 complete games, but apparently took its toll as he went from a 15-13 record with an ERA of 3.74 to a dismal 1980 campaign which saw him go 3-6 with a 6.94 ERA in 20 appearances, 15 of them starts.
He would play two more seasons, though now for the Chicago Cubs in 1981 and 1982, going a combined 2-7 with ERA’s North of 5.00 over 37 appearances, finishing his career with a record of 43-56 along with an ERA of 4.47 over 160 appearances and 858.2 innings of work.
