murphy had led the league in appearances in 1988 with 76, although he threw just 84.2 innings on the year. he was 0-6, but his era was a decent 3.08, showing that a win-loss record is fairly meaningless. in boston, murphy was 5-7 with a career high 9 saves and an era of 2.74. he pitched in 74 games, but threw 105 innings in those appearances. in 1990, he was back to his winless ways, going 0-6 as he had in 1988, but this time his era was a telling 6.32.
