I read this on another site, and I would like to know the answer to it.
When was the last time a pitcher threw an inning and retired all three batters on just one pitch each (three pitches total for the inning)? I imagine it must have been fairly recently.
Thanks!

John Smoltz did it last year for Atlanta, as did Taylor Buchholtz for Houston also last year

John Smoltz 7-7-06
Oops, someone slipped it in when I wasn't looking.

Smoltz didn't pitched on July 7, 2006. Was it another date? He did pitch on 6/7/06. It must have happened in the 3rd inning if it happened in that game at all.
