 Thurmond also started Game 5, and although he only lasted 1/3 of an inning, he gave up three runs again but earned a no-decision this time.The 1985 season was sort of a let-down for Thurmond, as he went 7–11 with a 3.97 ERA (an entire run higher than 1984) and only started 23 of his 36 games.In 1986, Thurmond got off to a very rocky start, going 3–7 with a 6.50 ERA in his first 17 games (15 starts).
