When the Cubs beat Luis Ayala in the 10th inning, Ayala became the first pitcher to make 0 starts but lose 10 games since Yhency Brazoban and Scot Shields in 2005.
The beauty of the accomplishment isn't just the rarity. Here are all the 10+ loss seasons for a pure reliever since 2000.
2008 Ayala 10
2005 Brazoban 10
2005 Shields 11
2004 Ayala 12
2002 Jimenez 10
That's right, only the 5th time it has happened in all of baseball in 9 seasons. Twice to Luis Ayala. Nice.
