pitcher's duel
Low-scoring mound battle
A pitcher's duel is a low-scoring baseball game in which both starting pitchers dominate, allowing few hits and runs.
The term suggests a contest between the pitchers rather than the teams as a whole: It was a classic pitcher's duel—both starters went eight innings and the final score was 1-0.
