Events

• 1875 - The finest game ever played in Keokuk‚ Iowa sees the Westerns battle the Boston Reds before losing‚ 6 - 4. A crowd of 300 is on hand. When the Reds get their share of the gate receipts - $13 - they elect to forfeit tomorrow's match and head back to Chicago. A few more events like this and the short-lived Keokuk club packs it in June 16th.
• 1876 - George Bechtel‚ RF for Louisville‚ who was suspended for "crookedness in the last Louisville-Mutuals game‚" gets in deeper trouble when P Jim Devlin shows his manager a telegram from Bechtel saying‚ "We can win $100 if you lose the game today."

• 1879 - Providence plays errorless ball for the first time this season and beats Cincinnati‚ 11 - 1.
• 1880 - Boston's Charley Jones‚ last year's home run king with nine‚ hits two homers in one inning‚ becoming the first big leaguer to accomplish this feat. Both homers come off Buffalo's Tom Poorman in the 8th inning of a 19 - 3 rout. Jones now has a league-high four homers‚ one more than Fred Dunlap.
• 1882 - The Eclipse score six runs in the bottom of the 12th to defeat the Athletics‚ 10 - 5.
• 1884:
  • The Mets edge Louisville, 7 - 5, in 11 innings, to tie the Eclipse for first place in the American Association with a 20-8 record.
  • Chicago White Stockings ace Larry Corcoran switch pitches in a 2 - 0 win over Cleveland. Tony Mullane did it two years ago.
• 1886 - Having lost his government job because of the afternoons he missed pitching for Washington‚ Bob Barr goes on the road finally and beats the host Athletics in Philadelphia‚ 3 - 2.
• 1888 - The Athletics play their first official Sunday home game at Gloucester, NJ‚ or so they think. The American Association secretary will later rule the game illegally rescheduled and throw it out of official records.
• 1890 - St. Louis (American Association) P Jack Stivetts hits two homers (and strikes out ten)‚ the second a grand slam in the top of the 9th‚ off Fred Smith‚ with his team down by three runs to win‚ 9 - 8‚ over visiting Toledo. He will later duplicate this batting feat twice, hitting a pair of homers on August 6‚ 1891‚ and on June 12‚ 1896‚ making him the first pitcher to achieve this. The only two pitchers to match this achievement are Wes Ferrell (who had five such games) and Don Newcombe.
• 1891 - Cleveland Spiders C Charles Zimmer makes six errors‚ and the opposing Brooklyns steal ten bases. The Bridegrooms win by only 9 - 8 though.
• 1892:
  • Though Baltimore fails to score after the 6th inning‚ the Orioles explode for 25 hits and swamp St. Louis, 25 - 4. Wilbert Robinson‚ Orioles catcher‚ goes 7 for 7‚ bats in 11 runs‚ a major league record; Whaling Wilbert scores once. He'll finish the season with a team-high 57 RBIs. George Shoch has five hits and scores four runs for Baltimore; pitcher Sadie McMahon‚ on the other hand‚ goes 0 for 7‚ tying the since-broken 19th Century major league mark. Baltimore continues in the second game‚ winning 9 - 3.
  • In a doubleheader sweep of visiting Pittsburgh‚ Brooklyn second baseman Monte Ward has 12 assists‚ a major league mark that won't be tied in a single game until Jim Gilliam does it in 1956. Brooklyn wins, 4 - 3 and 5 - 4.
• 1898 - A hard week for managers: Tom Brown is replaced at Washington by "Dirty Jack" Doyle‚ Billy Barnie is fired by ninth-place Brooklyn. Barnie's successor‚ CF Mike Griffin‚ resigns after four games; President Charlie Ebbets fills in. "Scrappy" Bill Joyce is dropped by the New York Giants in favor of Cap Anson‚ who takes over tomorrow.
• 1899 - Pittsburgh Pirates rookie 3B Jimmy Williams's batting streak stops at 26 games as Louisville's Deacon Phillippe holds him in check. But the Pirates win‚ 6 - 1‚ in the opener‚ and then are victorious‚ 5 - 4, in the second game.
• 1900 - The New York Times publishes a letter to the editor from Joseph Mann regarding Cap Anson's book A Ballplayers's Career‚ reviewed a week earlier. Anson's is the first autobiography by a major league player. According to Mann‚ Anson's book credits him‚ while a pitcher at Princeton‚ as the first pitcher to throw the curve ball‚ and the pitcher writes to expand on that. He says it was he who should receive credit‚ not Candy Cummings or Charles Avery of Yale‚ who he beat 3 - 0 on May 29‚ 1875‚ allowing no hits. He relates that in 1874 the Philadelphia team played at Princeton and‚ before the game and between innings Candy Cummings would stand at home plate and throw overhand down to second base curving the ball. Cummings also pitched that day and Mann says that Candy's catcher said that sometimes Candy's pitches curved‚ but not always. Mann says that day he got "two base hits and three singles against Cummings" and that he saw no curves‚ but was intrigued by the throws to second base. Mann says he worked on the curve that fall and over the winter unveiling it that spring. Mann ends his letter with: "I think I've said enough to establish the fact that I was the one who initiated the movement and revolutionized the pitching department of baseball." A Mr. Rankin will answer Mann's claims with a September 26th letter citing newspaper accounts of Alphonse Martin and Candy Cummings throwing curves in 1870.
• 1901:
  • The Brooklyn-Colts game draws only 450 fans in Chicago as the visitors win‚ 9 - 1.
  • In Cincinnati‚ Boston's Vic Willis is victorious over the Reds‚ 9 - 5. Willis hits his only career homer‚ off Doc Newton‚ to help his win. His batterymate Malachi Kittridge also homers. Noteworthy at the game is American League president Ban Johnson‚ who is the guest of Reds owner John Brush.
  • At Washington‚ the Washington Nationals overcome an eight-run deficit in the 8th to tie the game at 10 - 10 with the White Sox. Clark Griffith pops out as a pinch hitter in the 9th but stays on to pitch for the Sox. In the top of the 10th‚ Billy Hoy‚ who earlier homered‚ singles to start the inning. Two outs later Frank Isbell walks and Fred Hartman homers to end the scoring‚ 13 - 10.
• 1902:
  • Bobby Wallace‚ slick-fielding St. Louis SS‚ handles an American League record 17 chances in a nine-inning game while losing 5 - 4 to Boston. Wallace‚ whose 25-year career will place him in the Hall of Fame‚ has 11 assists and six putouts‚ but makes two errors.
  • Led by Erve Beck‚ the Reds roll over Bill Duggleby and the Phillies‚ 10 - 1. Beck has five hits‚ including a pair of triples. Bob Ewing is the victor.
• 1903 - Detroit SS Kid Elberfeld‚ suspended for abusing an umpire‚ is traded to the New York Highlanders for veteran infielders Herman Long‚ 37‚ and Ernie Courtney. The Highlanders' first trade is a good one as "The Tabasco Kid"‚ currently hitting .341‚ will be a key ingredient in New York's rise as contenders in 1904. Elberfeld had also been accused by Tiger manager Ed Barrow of deliberately throwing games recently as a ploy to get himself traded.
• 1904:
  • In the opener of the battle for first place at the Polo Grounds‚ Christy Mathewson pitches a brilliant one-hitter to beat Chicago‚ 5 - 0. The lone hit is Johnny Kling's 4th-inning single. The other action is provided by umpire Charlie Zimmer‚ who ejects Sam Mertes on a strike call. He also thumbs John McGraw‚ coaching at third base‚ to the bench‚ and sends Luther Taylor‚ the first base coach‚ to the clubhouse. One wag said later that Taylor, who is deaf and mute, was making too much noise.
  • It is Ladies Day in Boston‚ and the Pirates start Patsy Flaherty‚ recently re-acquired from the White Sox‚ where he led the American League in losses in 1903 with 25. Patsy wins his first start with the help of Honus Wagner‚ who is 3 for 5 with two doubles‚ three runs‚ and two steals.
• 1905 - The host Athletics outslug the Tigers‚ 15 - 8.
• 1906:
  • The White Sox manage just one hit off Al Orth but still beat the visiting Highlanders‚ 1 - 0‚ on an unearned run. In the 3rd inning‚ two errors and a hit batsman score the run. Fielder Jones has the lone hit‚ a 6th-inning single.
  • In Memphis, TN on a scouting trip‚ Connie Mack says that Christy Mathewson's ineffectiveness can be traced back to a ligament sprain in his last game pitching against the A's, in last year's World Series. In the latter part of the game‚ Matty grasped his arm after unleashing a fastball. Mack said players on the coaching lines heard the snap of something resembling the crack of a toy pistol. Mack's offer of $1,700 to Memphis for SS Simon Nicholls was refused.
• 1909 - George Mullin's winning streak reaches 11 with a 2 - 1 win over New York. On the 15th‚ he will finally lose to the Athletics, 5 - 4.
• 1910 - Behind Dixie Walker's one-hitter‚ the Washington Nationals edge the White Sox‚ 1 - 0. Bob Unglaub's 9th-inning single and steal of second base is key as Lena Blackburne's errant throw allows him to score the winner. Doc White's single is the lone Sox safety.
• 1911:
  • At Pittsburgh‚ the Bucs' Bobby Byrne steals second base‚ third base‚ and home in the same inning against Brooklyn. His swipe of second is on the back end of a double steal with Fred Clarke scoring on a contested play. When Brooklyn C Bill Bergen and pitcher Doc Scanlan argue the call with Bill Klem‚ Byrne sneaks to third. Scanlan gets tossed by umpire Klem and the remaining eight runs are rung up against reliever George Bell. After Dots Miller walks‚ he and Byrne pull of another double steal. Up 8 - 0 in the 8th‚ Pittsburgh tries a triple steal‚ and scores a run on a throwing error. But no steals are handed out on the play. The final score is 9 - 0.
  • Washington rolls by the White Sox‚ 18 - 7. Ewart Walker‚ father of Dixie and Harry Walker‚ collects a single‚ double‚ and triple in the win.
  • The Cubs trade C Johnny Kling‚ P Orlie Weaver‚ P Hank Griffin‚ and OF Al Kaiser to the Boston Rustlers for C Peaches Graham‚ Ps Cliff Curtis and Wilbur "Lefty" Good‚ and OF Bill Collins. Curtis (1-8)‚ who began the year with five straight losses after ending last season with 18 straight defeats‚ will be swapped to the Phillies in August.
  • At Princeton's Commencement day‚ a crowd of 18‚000 watch as Yale beats the Tigers‚ 6 - 2.
• 1912:
  • The Red Sox beat the Browns‚ 3 - 2, and take the American League lead for good; they will finish 14 games ahead of Washington.

• 1913 - A bounce home run by Fred Luderus into the right field stands at Redlands Field is the difference as the Phillies defeat the Reds‚ 3 - 2. Cincinnati Enquirer reporter Jack Ryder writes "the feat was thought impossible." The ball bounced over a 10-foot high wall 400 feet from home plate. "There is little chance of another hit like that of Luderus being made on this field for many seasons."
• 1918 - The Braves' Dick Rudolph fires the second one-hitter in two days‚ beating Rube Bressler and the visiting Reds‚ 3 - 0. Hal Chase has the lone hit.
• 1921 - Babe Ruth of the New York Yankees hits his 120th career home run off Cleveland Indians pitcher Jim Bagby in the 3rd inning. At the time, he is considered the new all-time leader, as this tops Gavvy Cravath's total of 119. In fact, unknown to everyone because of the lack of reliable statistics, 19th century slugger Roger Connor is the true leader, with 138. Ruth will pass him on July 19th to become the real all-time leader. The Indians win, 8 - 6.
• 1922:
  • The Giants raise their World Series pennant on George Burns Day; it's the first appearance at the Polo Grounds for the popular outfielder‚ now with the Reds after ten years in a Giants uniform. The Giants win‚ 3 - 2.
  • In St. Louis‚ Babe Ruth's two-run homer in the 3rd‚ off Urban Shocker‚ ties the game. Shocker then plunks Frank Baker‚ and a double‚ single‚ two errors on the same play‚ and a sacrifice fly score four more.

The Yanks score six off Shocker‚ and another six off relievers to win‚ 14 - 5.
• 1927 - George Stallings‚ Rochester club owner‚ fires himself as manager.

• 1935 - Paul Waner‚ Arky Vaughan‚ and Pep Young hit successive homers in the 8th inning off Benny Frey in the Pirates' 14 - 1 win against the Reds. Vaughan's homer is his second of the day as he continues to lead the National League in hitting with a .400+ average.
• 1936 - The Pirates hand the visiting Dodgers a 6 - 3 defeat‚ the seventh loss in a row for Brooklyn. Though he hasn't pitched since a pounding in Chicago on June 5th‚ Van Lingle Mungo jumps the team in Pittsburgh‚ complaining of poor support and demanding to be traded.

But Lefebvre is hammered by Chicago in a 15 - 2 loss. He is the first American League player to homer in his only at-bat of the season‚ and it will be his only major league homer‚ though he will finish with a .276 career average and lead the AL in pinch hits in 1944. Stratton‚ the winning pitcher‚ gets his revenge in the 2nd inning when he connects for a grand slam off Lefebvre‚ who gives up six runs in four innings.
• 1941 - Cardinal starter Lon Warneke yields a single to Phils leadoff hitter Heinie Mueller‚ then gives up no more safeties as he wins‚ 3 - 0. It's the second one-hitter against the Phils in four days.

• 1944 - Joe Nuxhall, at 15 years, 10 months and 11 days, becomes the youngest player in major league history when he pitches two-thirds of an inning for the Cincinnati Reds in an 18 - 0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. He manages to give up five walks and two hits before Bill McKechnie takes him out. The Cards tie a league record by stranding 18 runners in the most lopsided shutout win in the National League in ten years. The loser at the end of the day is Bill Lohrman.
• 1949
  • Frank Frisch‚ who began the season as coach of the Giants‚ replaces Charlie Grimm as manager of the last-place Cubs. Frisch was the first choice of Grimm‚ who goes into the front office as a vice president after tomorrow's games.

• 1992 - At Milwaukee‚ Mark McGwire hits his 22nd homer of the year and his career 200th. It comes in his 2‚852nd at bat‚ and he is the fifth quickest to reach 200. Winning for first-place Oakland is Ron Darling.
• 1995:
  • Baltimore Orioles third baseman Jeff Manto, who collected four home runs in his first three years in the major leagues, homers in his fourth consecutive at-bat. In all, he homers five times in six at-bats in three games during his power outburst. The Orioles defeat the Angels‚ 6 - 2.
  • Cal State Fullerton defeats Southern Cal‚ 11 - 5‚ to win the 1995 College World Series. Mark Kotsay blasts two homers for the winners.

  • The White Sox defeat the Red Sox‚ 8 - 2. Tim Wakefield goes the distance for Boston‚ surrendering 16 hits and making 162 pitches‚ all on two days' rest. It is the most hits allowed in a game by a pitcher this decade.
• 1997:
  • Kevin Brown throws a no-hitter and misses a perfect game by hitting a batter in the 8th inning. The Florida Marlins beat the San Francisco Giants, 9 - 0. With two outs in the 8th‚ Brown's 1-2 pitch nicks Marvin Benard on the right leg. Giant starter William Van Landingham also takes a no-hitter into the 7th‚ but Charles Johnson's two-run homer with one out opens a seven-run deluge.
  • In Kansas City, the Angels win, 6 - 2‚ to move ahead of Seattle in the AL West. Center fielder Jim Edmonds makes a sensational catch in the 5th inning and then drives home the go-ahead run with a double in the 6th. Rookie Jason Dickson retires 11 of the first 12 batters and allows two runs in seven innings.
  • Despite turning five double plays‚ and throwing three runners out at home - all by CF Damon Mashore‚ the A's lose to the Tigers‚ 6 - 4.
• 1998:
  • In honor of C Brian Johnson‚ the Giants hold "Brian Johnson Buzz Cut Night." Everyone who gets their head shaved receives four free box seat tickets. The Giants lose the game to the Mariners‚ 4 - 1.
  • Colorado OF Dante Bichette becomes the first Rockies player ever to hit for the cycle in the team's 9 - 8‚ ten-inning victory over the Rangers. Bichette doubles in the 4th‚ homers in the 6th‚ triples in the 9th‚ and singles in the 10th.
  • Yankee OF Tim Raines steals the 800th base of his career in New York's 6 - 2 win over the Expos. He is the fifth player in history to reach that milestone. The Yanks lose Bernie Williams to the disabled list when he injures his knee sliding.
• 1999:
  • San Diego defeats Oakland‚ 2 - 1‚ as P Trevor Hoffman records his 200th career save. Hoffman‚ who strikes out the side in order in the 9th‚ becomes the 25th pitcher in history to reach the mark.
  • It sounds like football. At Denver‚ the Rockies and Mariners combine for ten homers in a 16 - 11 Rockies win.
• 2000:
  • Darin Erstad hits a double in the Anaheim Angels' 10 - 3 win over Arizona. With a major league-leading 100 hits in 61 games, Erstad becomes the fastest to reach the 100-hit mark since Heinie Manush did it in 60 games for the 1934 Washington Senators.
  • The Royals defeat the Pirates‚ 2 - 1 in 12 innings. 2B Warren Morris gets five hits in a losing cause.
• 2001 - Nick Regilio of the Charlotte Rangers fires a perfect game against the Jupiter Hammerheads‚ striking out nine and allowing only two balls to reach the outfield in a 3 - 0 victory.
• 2002 - The Yankees best the Diamondbacks‚ 7 - 5. On the first pitch he sees in the majors‚ New York rookie OF Marcus Thames hits a homer off fireballing lefthander Randy Johnson.
• 2004 - The Cubs down the Cardinals‚ 12 - 3‚ scoring ten runs in the 4th inning. Chicago ties a team record with 11 hits in the frame‚ nine of them consecutive.
• 2005:
  • The Orioles down the Reds‚ 4 - 3. The interleague matchup marks the first time in history that three 500-home run players appear in the same game - Sammy Sosa‚ Rafael Palmeiro‚ and Ken Griffey Jr.
  • In their first meeting since 1918‚ the Cubs beat the Red Sox‚ 14 - 6‚ at Wrigley Field using a 20-hit attack. Winning pitcher Greg Maddux hits his first homer in six years and Jeromy Burnitz hits two homers and Todd Hollandsworth one. David Ortiz has a pair of homers for the Sox.
  • The Brewers trade 2B Junior Spivey to the Nationals for P Tomo Ohka.
  • The 1919 contract that sent Babe Ruth from the Red Sox to the Yankees brings in a staggering $996‚000 at auction.
  • Terry Mulholland of Minnesota and Mike MacDougal of Kansas City both throw one pitch and each pockets a loss when that pitch is hit for a home run. Hee-Seop Choi of the Dodgers hits his second homer of the game off Mulholland in the 9th to give Los Angeles a 6 - 5 win. Eric Gagné is the winner as the Dodgers' relievers retire 21 batters in a row following Justin Morneau's triple in the 3rd. It is the first meeting of the two teams since the 1965 World Series.
  • After blowing an 11 - 3 lead in the 8th‚ Troy Glaus of Arizona homers off Mike MacDougal in the 10th to give Arizona a 12 - 11 win over Kansas City. The D-Backs take the lead on Shawn Green's two homers and five RBI‚ but ten walks to the Royals help bring them back. Ruben Gotay, with a homer, and David DeJesus, with a triple, each drive in two runs in the Royals' six-run 8th. Kansas City starting pitcher Zack Greinke hits a homer but they pay him to pitch and he allows 15 hits and 11 runs in 4+ innings‚ recording just 13 outs. Greinke joins Eppa Rixey (1927)‚ Bill Sherdel (1931) and Scott Sanders (1998) as the only pitchers to give up 15 hits while recording 13 outs or fewer in a game, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
• 2006:
  • The Devil Rays beat the Royals, 9 - 5. Kansas City OF Reggie Sanders hits his 300th career home run to become the fifth player in major league history with 300 homers and 300 stolen bases. The others are Barry and Bobby Bonds, Willie Mays, and Andre Dawson.
  • Daniel Cabrera pitches six scoreless innings for the Orioles who take an 9 - 0 lead into the bottom of the 7th then hold on as the Twins score seven runs. Michael Cuddyer hits a grand slam in the Twins’ five-run 7th. For the fourth game in a row Joe Mauer is on base four times. Carlos Silva is the losing pitcher, but he does retire the side on three pitches in the 2nd as he did it last year in a 74-pitch game.
• 2007 - 39-year-old Masumi Kuwata enters a game for the Pirates. He becomes the oldest major league rookie in 47 years, since Diomedes Olivo debuted - also with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Kuwata allows one hit in two innings, but it is a two-run homer to Alex Rodriguez. Ken Takahashi, another veteran of Nippon Pro Baseball, will debut at age 40 in 2009.
• 2010:
  • He may not be accompanied by the hoopla that surrounds Stephen Strasburg, but the Orioles' Jake Arrieta matches the Nats phenom in at least one respect: by winning his major league debut, 4 - 3, over the Yankees, no less. He gives up three runs in six innings before the bullpen takes over, with David Hernandez picking up his first career save. Alex Rodriguez leaves the game with a groin strain in the 2nd inning, four days after suffering a similar problem in a game against the Blue Jays.
  • The Mets split a doubleheader with San Diego as Jon Niese pitches a one-hitter to win the nitecap, 3 - 0. The Padres turn a triple play in the 2nd inning, to no avail, but they win the opener, 4 - 2, behind Mat Latos.
  • Josh Johnson locks up in a tremendous pitching duel with the great Roy Halladay for the second time in ten days; this time, he comes out ahead. Johnson throws eight scoreless innings as Florida wins, 2 - 0, over Philadelphia. On May 29th, he gave up only an unearned run to the Phils, but Halladay pitched a perfect game to beat him, 1 - 0.
• 2011 - Tony La Russa manages his 5,000th game in the majors. Only Connie Mack (with 7,755) had reached that number before him.
• 2013:
  • The game between the Blue Jays and White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field is interrupted by fog in the 3rd inning. No one sees Adam Dunn's homer off R.A. Dickey leave the yard, motivating umpire Jeff Nelson to call for the rare interruption. Play resumes an hour and ten minutes later, and a second homer by Dunn in the 4th puts the Sox ahead to stay as they win, 10 - 6.
  • Fog is also a problem at Wrigley Field, on the other side of Chicago, IL, as it blankets the field over the first few innings, but there is no interruption as the Reds defeat the Cubs, 6 - 2. Brandon Phillips hits a grand slam and drives in all six runs for the Reds.
  • Javier Baez of the Daytona Cubs (Florida State League) hits four home runs in a 9 - 6 win over the Fort Myers Miracle. He is the second player in the circuit's history to accomplish the feat, after Ryan Harvey, also of Daytona, on July 28, 2006.
• 2014 - The Marlins defeat the Rangers, 8 - 5, for their 13th straight victory in interleague games. This is the most ever by a National League team and matches a mark set by the 2004 New York Yankees and 2004 Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
• 2018:
  • Neptunus cruises to a title at the 2018 European Champions Cup to repeat as champions of Europe. The Rotterdam team wins it at home this time, outscoring opponents 29-6 in six games. In the finale, they overpower Italy's ASD Rimini, 5 - 0. Orlando Yntema throws a four-hit shutout, fanning 11 and walking none, while 16-year-old rookie Darryl Collins hits a two-run triple off former Neptunus hurler Kevin Kellij in the 2nd. Quintin de Cuba scores twice and drives in a run and is named Cup MVP.
  • Brandon Crawford almost single-handedly snaps Max Scherzer's nine-game winning streak as the Giants blank Washington, 2 - 0. Crawford has three hits off the Nats' ace, including a two-run homer in the 4th, and adds another hit later in the game to provide all the offence San Francisco needs.
• 2019 - The Diamondbacks and Phillies play "Home Run Derby" at Citizens Bank Park, in a 13 - 8 win by the D-Backs. Arizona opens the game with three straight homers off Jerad Eickhoff, by Jarrod Dyson, Ketel Marte and David Peralta, on their way to hitting eight long balls. The Phillies reply with five of their own, including two by Scott Kingery, but it's not enough on a night when balls are flying out of the park right and left. Eduardo Escobar homers from different sides of the plate in consecutive innings for Arizona, and Ildemaro Vargas also homers twice. The combined 13 homers set a new major league record. The D-Backs had been the last team to open a game with three dingers, back on July 21, 2017.
• 2020 - Because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 Amateur Draft is held virtually and is limited to five rounds. As no amateur baseball has been played since March, college players who had already received exposure in previous years dominate the first round, with Arizona State 1B Spencer Torkelson chosen first overall by the Tigers. The first high schooler is OF Robert Hassell, taken with the #8 pick by the Padres.
• 2023:
  • In only his fourth start since coming back from a serious shoulder injury that cost him the second half of last season, Kyle Hendricks takes a no-hitter into the 8th inning before Mitch Haniger hits a two-out double. Hendricks then retires the next batter and Julian Merryweather pitches the 9th inning to complete the Cubs' 4 - 0 shutout win over the Giants, the first victory of the season for Hendricks.
  • HCAW wins their first European Cup, beating defending champion Parma. They trail, 4 - 1, entering the 6th before knocking around Danny Rondón and Carlos Contreras for seven runs. Cousins Max Draijer and Victor Draijer both homer for HCAW in an 11 - 4 victory; Victor is named tourney MVP.
• 2024 - Cal Raleigh hits a walk-off grand slam off Jordan Leasure in the bottom of the 9th to give Seattle an 8 - 4 win over the White Sox. Chicago led, 4 - 0, after seven innings following a great start by Erick Fedde, but Seattle ties the game with four runs in the 8th, the last run scoring on a squeeze bunt by Luke Raley against Michael Kopech.
