I don't believe I've seen any of the stats from the OP in person. Maybe a three homer game back in Colorado years ago but not that I recall.
I did find it funny that a couple nights ago Rays reliever Robert Stephenson pitched an immaculate inning but it won't count as one because there was an intentional during the inning. Even though a pitch wasn't thrown it counts as a batter faced so he's not in the record books.

Last night the Royals won their second game this year on a walk-off balk, a balk-off. Through 2016 (latest source I could find on this), a balk-off had only happened 21 times in MLB history, and prior to this year had only happened twice in the same year on three occasions: 1965, 2000, and 2011. Until last night, it had never resulted in the same team winning twice in the same year.
Incidentally, the Royals' two balk-off wins account for just under 5% of their total wins this season (2 of 44).

The Yankees were no hit for 11 innings on Sunday, and still won the game. This is the 4th time a team has won after being no hit for 11 innings, and the first time it’s happened since 1965.

Yanks, hitless into 11th inning, top Brewers in 13
The Yankees, hitless through 10 1/3 innings, twice rallied to tie the Brewers in extra innings before winning 4-3 in the 13th inning Sunday.
He's 61 so I don't think so - though he probably could have improved Boston's bullpen last year.
I am pretty sure he got 32 starts for Devil Ray's last year...but being the Devil Ray's nobody was there to see them.
In 1966, Cardinals rookie pitcher Larry Jaster pitched 5 complete game shutouts, all against the Dodgers.
The Dodgers won the pennant that year.'
His line against LA was 45 IP, 29 H, 0R, 8 BB, 31 SO.

Saw Moyer lose 1-0 (I think) when he was pitching for the M's around 2007. I just wanted to have a long evening enjoying several beers and watching the game from left field. It was over in not much more than 2 hours. I was like, WTF?
Eff Moonlight Graham. This was the guy who deserved redemption at the Field of Dreams.
Actually, the terminal velocity of a dropped ball is <100 mph, which is slower than what most infielders (and many outfielders) deal with on a regular basis.
Is that dropped ball terminal velocity from an African, or a European swallow?
My dad told me he watched Josh Gibson do this one day in Springfield, Illinois…..catch a ball dropped from an airplane.
‘Pops told me Josh was the best catcher he ever saw….
