One and Done
It has happened every season this decade, but not yet this year. In 2008, no pitcher has come into a game, thrown 1 pitch and earned a loss. Here are the players who have done it since 2000.

A couple of notes.
1. In 2006 it didn't happen until August 29.
2. With the exception of Jimmy Gobble and Ray King all of the others apear to be walkoff homeruns.

Andy, one of the pitchers on your shareit list seems to have completed 1.1 innings on 1 pitch. Something's wrong with the pitch count number for that game.
