When Cubs only hits were home runs By JohnW53 on May 22, 2021, 8:29am CDT +
As you might imagine, it s a pretty short list.
In fact, since 1901, the Cubs have won exactly
1 game with multiple homers and no other hits.
....
JUST GETTING STARTED
It happened on April 14, 1985, when the Cubs defeated the Expos, 4-2, in just their fifth game of the season, on a Sunday afternoon at Wrigley Field.
The Cubs scored a run without a hit in the first inning. Bob Dernier, leading off against David Palmer, reached first on a dropped third strike. One out later, he stole second. After Gary Matthews walked, Leon Durham grounded to the right side. The second baseman threw to the shortstop, forcing out Matthews, but the shortstop s throw to first was wild, allowing Dernier to score.
Origin
At the beginning of 1962, the Los Angeles Dodgers were poised to become the premier team in baseball’s National League, just as their forebears in Brooklyn had been in the years between the end of World War II and the team’s move to California (1946-57). Having shed of most of the stars from their glory days in Brooklyn, and ensconced themselves in Dodger Stadium, a brand-new ballpark that favored pitching over slugging, the Dodger squads of the early 1960s seemed ideally suited to their news environment.
Indeed, over the next five years, led by the pitching duo of Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale (who won four Cy Young Awards between them from 1962-65) and speedster Maury Wills (who captured six straight stolen base titles from 1960-65), the Dodgers captured three National League pennants, missed a fourth title by a single game, and brought home two World Series championships.
