Trying to give that some context, I've found that a) Hershiser in '89 was the last to lose 1-0 four times in a season, and b) Posnanski wrote a column on 1-0 games a couple of years ago:

Haven't been able to find out if anyone's ever had more than four in a season.

Turns out Fergie Jenkins lost five 1-0 games in, no surprise, 1968. He pitched 7, 6 (those two were back-to-back), 8, 7, and 9 innings. He also had a 10-inning no-decision that the Cubs went on to lose 1-0 in the bottom of the 11th. 47 IP, 5 earned runs, 0-5 with a no-decision.

Roger Craig, of course, lost six 1-0 games w/ the '63 Mets.

There you go--thanks. I've never associated the '62 Mets with close, well-pitched games like that.

'63 was different than '62 -- as the Mound Era intensified, the league average of total runs in a game nosedived from 9.0 to 7.6. The Mets' Runs Against total was easily the worst in the NL both years; their Pythag record was actually worse in '63 bcz they played 162 instead of 160, and underperformed by ten wins in '62.
Craig was decent in both years, and a pitcher named Carl Willey actually had a 4.2 WAR in '63.

...and the '63 Mets were shut out 30 times.

Matthew Kory, BP:
Yu Darvish is the fastest to 500 strikeouts in major-league history. I was going to turn this into an Astros joke, but turns out he has the most against Anaheim. Whatever, ha ha Astros!

@PatDoneyNBC5Yu Darvish in his first ever press conference in English & was asked if he quit on the Rangers last year. His response: "That is bull$***."

I love this interaction between Darvish and the next Director of Analytics of any MLB team he wants because he's so smart. pic.twitter.com/wqProHaeNZ— Kyle Boddy (@drivelinebases) August 22, 2019
