Just three hits is all we need

San Diego beat Philadelphia tonight at PETCO Park 1-0. This was the fifth 1-0 win for the Padres this year. The last team to pull off that feat was the 2002 Angels. Chris Young has started all five games for the Padres, but only has credit for two of the wins. The most 1-0 wins in a season by any pitcher is five, by several pitchers, the last one being Dean Chance in 1964. Chance is the only pitcher among the group not to have all the wins be complete games. Walter Johnson won 38 games in his career by a 1-0 margin. Greg Maddux leads all active pitchers with 1-0 complete game wins with 11.

The alltime record for 1-0 wins in a season will likely survive. The 1914 Washington Senators won 14 1-0 games. The 1908 Pirates hold the NL record with 10 1-0 wins.

The Padres have also won five games in which they have picked up three or fewer hits. In the last 50 years, seven teams have now done that with the 1998 Dodgers being the last team to pull it off.
