Let's see. Rangers and Rays have a tie game halfway through the ninth (though ninth isn't necessary). Bob The Pitcher pitches the top half for the Rangers. Game suspended due to rain, it was a Sunday game in May and the teams won't again play until August.
In the interrim, Bob the Pitcher gets traded to the Rays and in August the game resumes. The Rays put in Bob the Pitcher and he immediately gives up a 2 run homer.
Bob the Pitcher gets the loss for the Rays (and a blown save) and the win for the Rangers.
Do I win a cookie?
Resumed games allow all sorts of oddities (I have no idea if this is route to GD's almost, I haven't read any sports news from yesterday) such as the fact that some sources list Barry Bonds Major League debut several months before the first day he actually plays since his first appearances was in the late summer resumption of a game started early in the season.
So I assume the first three of the following (if my scenario was the right one) happened yesterday but the pitcher didn't lose the game?
Suspended game
Pitcher traded from Team A to Team B
Pitcher resumes game (or plays in resumed game) for new team.
Pitcher loses game for new team.
