A 74-pitch complete game [View all]

On July 25, 2007, [Aaron] Cook tossed a 74-pitch complete game against a team the Rockies would later beat in a one-game tiebreaker to advance to the postseason. In that game, Cook threw 55 strikes compared to just 19 balls and induced 15 ground-ball outs. The 74 pitches to this day is tied for the fewest amount of pitches in a nine-inning complete game since the Rockies broke into the league in 1993.

*wow! Musta been a quick game!*
