The Boston Red Sox allowed no hits and one hit in consecutive complete games by Howard Ehmke in September 1923. Ditto for the Brooklyn Dodgers with Dazzy Vance pitching in September 1925. The Chicago Cubs managed the same feat behind Lon Warneke in April 1934. So did the Cleveland Indians in April-May 1966 with Sam McDowell on the mound.
The New York Giants also accomplished this with Rube Marquard as their pitcher in August-September 1911.
The Philadelphia Phillies became the first NL team to do it in August 1887 with Charlie Buffinton pitching. Finally, the first Major League team to accomplish it (I guess counting only games that were at least 9 innings long) was Louisville in July 1886 with the great Toad Ramsey in the box.
