The Colorado Rockies won Game 1 of the NLCS despite not getting any extra base hits. The Rockies had just 8 singles in their 5-1 win at Arizona.
The Rockies did not win a single game in the regular season in which all their hits were singles. Not many teams did. It happened just 42 times. The Rangers, Blue Jays, Dodgers, and Astros all won four times without getting an extra base hit.
Colorado has won just 13 games in franchise history without getting an extra base hit and the last time was September 29, 2006 at Chicago.
The last postseason game where a team won without an extra base hit was the last postseason game of last year, Game 5 of the 2006 World Series.
The Cubs lost Game 1 of the 2003 NLCS to the Marlins despite picking up nine extra base hits.
One of my favorite games ever was the last game of a the famous 'Boston Massacre' sweep of the Sox at Fenway in 1978. The Yankees won 7-4 and had 18 hits, all singles.
