He had played in just four games at pitcher before 1932, but he was sent to pitch seven for the Red Sox that year (with six starts), and he responded with five complete games and two shutouts for a 5-1 record in 54 innings pitched.

He appeared in just one further game at pitcher in 1940 for Philadelphia, allowing three runs in seven innings in a loss.
