Trivia of the day, with a bonus f.you to Pitching wins

By Tangotiger, 04:23 PM

A Bill James reader:

ON 6/17/00 Ismeal Valdez was the starting pitcher for the Cubs, In the bottom of the 2nd he had an RBI single giving the Cubs a 1-0 lead, after the 3rd inning he left with an injury. The game ended 1-0. Do you know of any other time in baseball history where the Starting Pitcher drove in the only run of the game, and was not credited with the win?

I’m not even bother going to check Retrosheet because I soooooo want it to be true.
