His final major league appearance came on September 12 against the Cincinnati Reds ; he came into a tied game in the ninth and promptly gave up three runs without retiring a batter, taking the loss ( coincidentally, the last batter McLain ever faced in the major leagues was none other than Pete Rose, who would also be ensnared in a gambling scandal years later ).
His final major league appearance came on September 29, 1990, as he drew two walks and scored a run in a 5-2 White Sox win over the Seattle Mariners.
