MLB Trivia Time (Who am I?) Part 2

[stevenash]

What starting pitcher recieved the most run support in a single season.
(minimum 162 innins pitched)

Definition:
Run support per nine innings measures how many runs an offense scores for a certain pitcher while that pitcher is in the game. That number is then set over a nine-inning timeframe.

Run support is a relatively new stat so don't think back to far.

So.....
What starter has the record for receiving the best run support in a single season?
Once again minimum 162 innins pitched.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Very tough question, b/c it's really not attached to skill.

I'm going to say: Roger Clemens.

I think he had a season or two where he got a ton of run support.

Porcello is the correct answer.
