Alan Embree


On this date in 2009, Rockies reliever picked up a win without throwing a pitch.

Embree comes in the game with two outs in the eighth with the score tied 2-2. Before throwing a pitch, he promptly picks off Austin Kearns at first base to end the top half of the inning. The Rockies score one run in the bottom of the eighth to go ahead 3-2. Huston Street comes in for the Rockies to close the game in the top of the ninth. Embree gets the win without throwing a pitch.

I bet he was even fresh and "good to go" the next day if the Rockies absolutely needed him!
