1974 - Dave Roberts one-hits the Phillies, 1-0, in the quickest game in club history . Bob Boone's leadoff single in the sixth is all that separates Roberts from perfection in a game that takes only one hour and 26 minutes to complete. Roberts needs just 86 pitches. Roger Metzger singles off Steve Carlton, plating Larry Milbourne in the eighth for the only tally.

Dave Roberts for the Padres and Tom Seaver for the Mets lock up in a classic pitchers duel

ByThis Day in Baseball

Dave Roberts for the Padres and Tom Seaver for the Mets lock up in a classic pitchers duel, both pitching shutout ball for 10 innings, at which point Seaver is replaced by a pinch-hitter, having compiled 14 strikeouts. Roberts stays in the game, though, and wins a 12-inning 1 – 0 shutout when Larry Stahl hits a lead-off double in the bottom of the 12th and scores when Mets C Jerry Grote throws the ball into the outfield when he attempts to steal third base.

Skip Lockwood accounts for the only Brewer tally when he homers off Detroit’s Joe Niekro. Each starter goes 7 innings in Detroit’s 2 – 1 victory. The next homer by a Brewer pitcher will come when Milwaukee is in the National League.
