statistic to measure pitcher&#8217;s starts, was a -7,\u00a0the worst for a debut start since at least 1918. \u00a0The most amazing thing about the outing is that\u00a0Mu\u00f1oz almost did not pick up the loss,\u00a0as the Sox mounted an incredible comeback, eventually losing 17-14.<\/p>\n<p>After the game,\u00a0Mu\u00f1oz was relegated back to Triple A until September, when he returned to the big leagues and was more successful pitching out of the bullpen. \u00a0Unfortunately for\u00a0Mu\u00f1oz, that was the end of his major league White Sox career. \u00a0He spent the next two seasons bouncing between Triple-A Charlotte and Double-A Birmingham before leaving as a minor league free agent after the 2006 season.<\/p>\n<p>Mu\u00f1oz&#8217;s numbers in a White Sox uniform were:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\">\n<caption><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th bgcolor=\"#c0c0c0\"><span style=\"color: #000000;
