That sort of reminds me of the appearances where a relief pitcher doesn't even through a pitch but gets the win (such as by picking off a baserunner in a tie game.) Neat.

With the Dodgers up 2-1 in the 8th and a runner on 2nd, Joe Beimel is brought in. He faces one batter, Barry Bonds, handing him an IW and is pulled in favor of Broxton. Next batter, Durham hits a 3-run HR and Beimel is tagged with the loss. This is the 4th time this has happened since 1957. The others were: Brian Shouse in 2006 Hector Almonte in 1999 Humberto Robertson in 1960 I used the pitching game finder set to look for losing pitchers who had: IBB=1 BF=1 One other oddity I caught from Sunday.

The two previous players to do it were Mays (35 HR, 38 SB, 26 2B, and 20 3B in 1957) and Frank Schulte (21 HR, 23 SB, 30 2B, 21 3B in 1911.) I stand corrected on that.

Willie Mays accomplished the feat back in 1957. I don't have a subscription to the PI, but it shows 3 players as having had a 20/20/20/20 season.
