The Washington Senators put three runners on in the first inning during a game against the Yankees on May 21, 1970. Lee Maye singled with one out, but was thrown out trying to advance to second during the next at-bat. Yankees starter Mel Stottlemyre then allowed another single and walked two more guys. He then got a groundout to end the inning.
Those two stranded baserunners were just the beginning of the most bizarre Yankees shutout ever. After the shaky first inning, Stottlemyre threw 1-2-3 innings in both the second and third. Those would be the last time that would happen all day.
