In the history of baseball, 45 pitchers have pitched in 9 games with 5 starts, some of them spectacularly, like the 19 year old Rick Ankiel in 1999. Two of them pitched for the Braves in 2020, neither spectacularly. One of them, Huascar Ynoa, did all of his work with the Braves. The other, Robbie Erlin, split his season between Pittsburgh (2 games, no starts, 5.40 ERA) and Atlanta (7 games, 5 starts, 8.49 ERA). The Braves acquired Erlin when Pittsburgh waived him on August 7, and he hung around for 5 weeks before being released on September 14th.
