In their win over the Yankees in the Bronx yesterday, the Mets won while using only two pitchers in the game. That has become an unusual event.
In 1984, the Mets had 44 wins in which they used exactly two pitchers. In 2006 the Mets had only 3 such wins and last year it was 7. The Cubs led the NL in two-pitcher wins last season with 16, while the Cardinals trailed the league in this category with just 2 two-pitcher games all season in 2007.
In 1974, the Dodgers had 52 two-pitcher wins -- that season Mike Marshall, their "closer", pitched in 106 games, all in relief, with an astounding 208 IP.
