Any precedent for a pitcher getting a victory without throwing a pitch?

Baltimore at Detroit, first game of a double-header.
In the bottom of the 7th with Detroit leading 2-1, BJ Ryan was brought in to relieve Pat Hentgen with two out and Omar Infante at first.
Ryan attempted a pick-off throw before throwing a pitch to the batter. Infante took off to second base and was tagged out attempting to steal (1-3-6)
Baltimore scored three runs in the top of the 8th, making Ryan the pitcher of record for the O's.
Buddy Groom replaced Ryan to start the bottom of the 8th.
The O's added an insurance run in the 9th to win 5-2.
Ryan gained the win without having thrown a pitch
