In 19 games as a starting pitcher, Brown won 2, lost 15, and pitched 13 complete games. His earned run average was 4.74. He also made some appearances in the outfield and one at first base, giving him a total of 29 games played at the major league level. He batted .245 (27-for-110) with 17 runs scored.
