In the first, he hurled two scoreless innings against the expansion edition of the Montreal Expos. In the second, he allowed two earned runs in 2⅔ innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates, a double by the Pirates' Bob Robertson the most damaging blow. He then was sent back to the minor leagues.After retiring as an active player, Distaso became a police officer and then a detective for the Los Angeles Police Department, retiring in 1994.
