Phil Niekro was the last pitcher to win 20 and lose 20 (21-20) in the same season (1979). I'd be surprised if it was ever done again with the changes to how pitchers are used now.

You're trolling so I'll bite:

Jim Palmer - 521 career starts - 211 complete games. You have to admit that is pretty amazing.

Back on September 28, 1919 the New York Giants defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 6-1. The time it took to play the full nine innings was a mere 51 minutes. You can barely get two innings covered in that amount of time these days.

Here's a first from today

Today, for the first time ever in MLB since records were kept,
grand slam home runs were hit by both the starting pitcher and catcher.

Buster Posey and Madison Bumgarner did it today for the Giants against the D'backs.
It's a silly, obscure, record that may never be equalled!

Few pitchers have even hit a grand slam. Tony Cloninger hit 2 with the Braves in the same game,
