Pitching Clinic

Last night I had something happen that I'm pretty sure I've never accomplished before in my previous 481 teams ...
On the road last night, my team swept three games, ALL BY THE SCORE OF 1-0.
The combined pitching line was:
27 innings
12 hits allowed
2 walks allowed
29 K's
0 Runs

Quite remarkable, I've never seen three 1-0 results either!
But arguably, you were owed by Hal. Especially after the hitting clinic I put on against you last weekend, at Petco!

I also had one of these back in June (#MeToo), albeit at home with more walks and less K’s, but with more innings and less hits.
The pitching line was:
31 innings
8 hits allowed
13 walks allowed
27 K's (Koufax with 15)
0 Runs

Leave it to Bruce to bring me back down off of my pedestal in a sly way, he is truly the master of mind games.

Pretty amazing, even for a home team.

From Baseball Reference:
Some facts about winning by a score of 1-0, all post-1954:
No team, since 1954, has ever won 3 straight games by a score of 1-0. I found this out by looking at the team batting streak finder.
The last team to win 2 straight 1-0 games was the 2006 Red Sox, who did it in games 92 and 93 of the year. The winning pitchers were Lester and Beckett. Prior to that, it was the 2000 Dodgers. Prior to that, it was the 1996 Cardinals. Prior to that, it was the 1991 Angels. All of these cases were against the same opponent. Within the limits of the PI I was unable to find the last time it happened against two different opponents in consecutive games.
Each year there are roughly 20 to 50 games that end 1-0. Since 1993, the number has been between 26 and 42 each season.

Additional fun fact from the article:
On September 12, 1969 the Mets swept a doubleheader from the Pirates by identical scores of 1-0, and in both games the starting pitchers (Jerry Koosman and Don Cardwell) drove in the runs.
