What is the fewest number of pitches that a pitcher in a major league baseball game can throw and come away with a complete game?

(A real complete game, not shortened by rain or anything like that)

I believe the solution is ZERO pitches.

If a pitcher touches his fingers to his mouth while on the mound, a Ball is called. After 4 times (4 Balls) the batter walks. Without throwing a pitch, the runner is picked off first base. This continues for 9 innings...0 pitches!

Improbable, but possible
