Not sure where this would rank all time, but I was just reading about the 1915 Detroit Tigers. They won 100 games but lost the pennant to the Red Sox.
The Tigers arrived at Fenway on September 16th just 2 games back of the Sox for a huge 4 game series. They split the first two games, and then on the 18th Harry Coveleski and Ernie Shore each pitched shutout ball until the bottom of the 12th when the Sox scored on two infield hits and an error. The Sox won the next day as well when some dumb rookie pitcher named Babe Ruth beat the Tigers, effectively ending the Tigers' pennant hopes. At the time it was considered quite a big deal.

Pitching duel
August 14, 1915 - Ruth defeats Johnson 4-3
April 17, 1916 - Ruth defeats Johnson 5-1 June 1, 1916 - Ruth defeats Johnson 1-0 August 15, 1916 - Ruth defeats Johnson 1-0 in 13 innings Sept. 9, 1916 - Ruth defeats Johnson 2-1 Sept. 12, 1916 - Johnson defeats Ruth 4-3 Walter Johnson was in his prime. Ruth defeated him 5 times in a row before he lost to The Big Train. Walter Johnson is considered one of the top pitchers of all time, arguably the best. I bet those 1-0 games would have been priceless to see!

It kinda makes you wonder... what if Babe Ruth was a hitter as good as most pitchers, so he never was converted? Would he have been one of the all-time greats like Johnson?

Oct 2, 1908
Surprised no one has mentioned Addie Joss versus Ed Walsh on October 2, 1908.
Tight pennant race, Joss throws a perfect game and Ed Walsh only gives up 4 hits, striking out 15. The only run came on a passed ball/wild pitch.
