July 15, 1973: Nolan Ryan 2nd no-hitter

We remember Nolan Ryan's second no hitter of 1973 and career: a 6-0 victory over Detroit with 17 Ks.   It may have been his most impressive performance!   In 1973, Ryan was 21-16 with a 2.87 ERA & 26 complete games.    How do you lose 16 games with a 2.87 ERA?
