Events[edit]
- 1870 - An estimated 20,000 fans pack Dexter Park in Chicago, IL to watch the Chicago White Stockings defeat the Cincinnati Red Stockings, 16 - 13. Chicago finishes the season with a record of 65-8, making them the unofficial national champions.
- 1903 - In Game 8, Boston wins the first modern-day World Series. Bill Dineen pitches a 3 - 0 complete game against Pittsburgh, as Deacon Phillippe hurls his fifth complete game of the Series, but takes the loss. Boston wins the best-of-nine series, five games to three.
- 1914 - The Boston Braves complete a remarkable sweep of the Philadelphia Athletics, the first in World Series history. Dick Rudolph pitches a complete game 3 - 1 victory for the Braves, who were 15 games out of first place in early July.
- 1915 - The Phillies get four runs early off Boston Red Sox pitcher Rube Foster in Game 5 of the World Series. The Red Sox break a tie in the 9th inning for the third time in the Series, as Harry Hooper hits his second home run of the game off reliever Eppa Rixey. Boston wins, 5 - 4, to take the Series in five games.
- 1921 - In the first "Subway Series" ever, the New York Giants defeat the New York Yankees, 1 - 0, to take the World Series, five games to three. The only run of the game scores on a 1st-inning error by Yankees shortstop Roger Peckinpaugh.
- 1959 - The Milwaukee Braves release long-time veterans Enos Slaughter and Mickey Vernon, ending their major league careers. A future Hall of Famer, Slaughter hit only .171 in the season and Vernon batted just .220.
- 1960 - Bill Mazeroski of the Pittsburgh Pirates hits one of the most dramatic home runs in World Series history. Maz's leadoff home run in the bottom of the 9th inning against Ralph Terry of the New York Yankees gives Pittsburgh a stunning 10 - 9 win in Game 7.
- 1965 - Mudcat Grant does it all himself, hitting a three-run home run and pitching a 5 - 1 win at Minnesota to knot the World Series with the Dodgers after six games.
- 1970 - In the World Series, the Baltimore Orioles win their third straight over the Cincinnati Reds, 9 - 3, with winning pitcher Dave McNally slugging a grand slam. Frank Robinson and Don Buford also hit home runs and third baseman Brooks Robinson continues his excellence on defense as he makes two spectacular grabs in the field.
- 1971 - The Baltimore Orioles and Pittsburgh Pirates play the first night game in World Series history. Roberto Clemente bats three hits and rookie catcher Milt May delivers a game-winning pinch-hit in Pittsburgh's 4 - 3 comeback victory.
- 1973 - The Mets hold Oakland to four hits in the World Series opener, but three of those hits come in the two-run 3rd inning as Oakland wins, 2 - 1.
- 1974 - The Los Angeles Dodgers, behind Don Sutton, even the World Series with a 3 - 2 win over the Oakland Athletics. The Dodgers score in the 2nd inning off Vida Blue, and a two-run home run by Joe Ferguson in the 6th provides the winning margin.
- 1978 - New York Yankees third baseman Graig Nettles puts on a fielding clinic and prevents seven runs as the Yankees beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 5 - 1, in Game 3 of the World Series. Nettles makes four spectacular stops and gives the Yankees their first victory of the series.
- 1979 - In the World Series, the Baltimore Orioles score six runs in the 8th inning en route to a 9 - 6 win, taking a 3-1 Series advantage over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Pinch-hit doubles by John Lowenstein and Terry Crowley drive in four runs.
- 1984 - A pair of two-run home runs by Alan Trammell of the Detroit Tigers provide all the scoring as pitcher Jack Morris beats the San Diego Padres, 4 - 2, in Game 4 of the World Series. The Tigers are now just one win away from the title.
- 1985 - St. Louis routs the Dodgers, 12 - 2, to even the National League Championship Series. St. Louis, however, loses rookie sensation Vince Coleman to one of the more bizarre injuries in major league history. Coleman is stretching before the game when his left leg becomes caught in Busch Stadium's automated tarpaulin as it unrolls across the infield, trapping him for about 30 seconds. He will not play again this year.
- 1991 - Hiromitsu Ochiai draws six walks in one game, a new Nippon Pro Baseball record.
- 1993 - Tommy Greene of the Philadelphia Phillies outpitches Greg Maddux and the Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves, 6 - 3, to win the NLCS in six games.
- 1995 - Jay Buhner, whose error in right field allowed the Indians to tie the game, hits his second home run of the game in the top of the 11th inning to lead the Mariners to a 5 - 2 victory in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series. Norm Charlton hurls three hitless innings in relief to give the Mariners a 2-1 series lead.
- 1996 - Powered by three home runs in the 3rd inning and eight strong innings from Andy Pettitte, the Yankees win their 34th American League pennant with a 6 - 4 victory over Baltimore. The Yankees take the ALCS, four games to one, and will go to the World Series for the first time since 1981.
- 1998 - The New York Yankees advance to the World Series for a record 35th time after beating the Cleveland Indians, 9 - 5, to win the ALCS in six games.
- 1999:
- The Atlanta Braves take a two-game lead over the Mets in the NLCS with a 4 - 3 victory. The Braves score all four of their runs in the 6th inning on a pair of home runs by Brian Jordan and Eddie Perez off Mets starter Kenny Rogers. Kevin Millwood gets the win for Atlanta, with John Smoltz making his first relief appearance ever to get the save.
- The Yankees defeat the Boston Red Sox in the opener of the American League Championship Series, 4 - 3, in ten innings. Boston blows a 3 - 0 lead, as Bernie Williams hits a home run off reliever Rod Beck.
- 2000 - The New York Yankees batter the Seattle Mariners, 8 - 2, to take a two-games-to-one lead in the ALCS. Bernie Williams and Tino Martinez hit back-to-back home runs in the 2nd inning for New York, while David Justice has three RBI. Mariano Rivera breaks Whitey Ford's record for consecutive scoreless innings pitched in postseason play with 33 1/3 scoreless frames.
- 2001:
- The Cleveland Indians rout Seattle, 17 - 2, behind rookie pitcher C.C. Sabathia to take the lead in their American League Division Series. Omar Vizquel leads the Indians with four hits and six RBI - one short of the Division Series record.
- Jorge Posada's 5th-inning solo home run accounts for all the scoring as the Yankees defeat Oakland, 1 - 0, to stay alive in their ALDS. Pitcher Mike Mussina gives up just four hits in seven innings to get the win. Derek Jeter makes his famous "Flip Play" on a relay throw to the plate to nab Jeremy Giambi, who neglects to slide, and save the game.
- The St. Louis Cardinals defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks, 4 - 1, behind rookie pitcher Bud Smith to even their NLDS at two games apiece. Fernando Viña hits a two-run home run for St. Louis.
- 2002:
- The Anaheim Angels score ten runs in the 7th inning on their way to a 13 - 5 victory over Minnesota to give Anaheim its first American League pennant in team history. Adam Kennedy is the hero for Anaheim with three home runs and seven RBI. Scott Spiezio also hits a home run for the Angels, with Francisco Rodriguez getting the win in relief.
- San Francisco defeats the Cardinals, 4 - 3, to move within one game of the World Series. Benito Santiago's two-run home run in the 8th inning is the deciding blow. Tim Worrell wins the game in relief for the Giants.
- 2005 - Roy Oswalt works seven innings of five-hit, one-run ball and Brad Lidge throws two scoreless innings in relief as the Houston Astros pass the St. Louis Cardinals, 4 - 1. Rookie outfielder Chris Burke keeps up his unlikely postseason hitting, scoring two runs and driving in another with a two-out single. Burke came through in the NLDS with an 18th-inning walk-off home run that knocked out Atlanta, and he had a pinch-hit, two-run homer in Houston's Game 1 loss to St. Louis. Houston evens the best-of-seven series at one game apiece and heads home for the next three contests.
- 2006 - The Tigers defeat Oakland, 3 - 0, in Game 3 of the ALCS, with Kenny Rogers picking up the win. In the game, Mark Kiger makes his major league debut as a defensive substitute for the A's, becoming the first player to make his debut in the postseason since Bug Holliday in 1885. Kiger will never play a regular season game during his short major league career.
- 2011:
- The Milwaukee Brewers even the NLCS at two games apiece with a 4 - 2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. Randy Wolf gives up just six hits through seven innings, although he gets off on the wrong foot, allowing solo homers to Matt Holliday in the 2nd and Allen Craig in the 3rd as the Brewers fall behind, 2 - 0. Milwaukee comes back with a pair of runs in the 4th, then chases Kyle Lohse from the game when Ryan Braun hits a go-ahead single in the 5th.
- The Detroit Tigers turn to their ace, Justin Verlander, to stave off elimination in the ALCS. He limits the Texas Rangers' bats to two runs through seven innings, then tires and leaves in the 8th having thrown a career-high 133 pitches. With the Bengals' bullpen aces too tired to pitch, Phil Coke takes over and gets the last five outs, even though the Rangers manage to pull back three runs over the last two frames. Still, the Tigers had built a big lead against C.J. Wilson, with four home runs - two by Delmon Young and one each by Alex Avila and Ryan Raburn - and hang on for a 7 - 5 win.
- 2012 - In Game 1 of the ALCS, Raul Ibanez hits a homer to cap a game-tying four-run outburst against Tigers closer Jose Valverde in the 9th inning, but Detroit manages to overcome the psychological blow to win, 6 - 4, in 12 innings. The Yankees' Derek Jeter collects the 200th postseason hit of his career in the game - second place on the all-time list is held by his long-time teammate Bernie Williams with 128 - but he then suffers a broken ankle while fielding a ground ball in the 12th, putting him out for the rest of the postseason. Delmon Young drives in three runs for Detroit, including a homer in the 8th and the game-winner with a double off David Phelps, the eighth Yankee pitcher of the game.
- 2013:
- Trailing 5 - 0 in the middle of the 6th in Game 2 of the ALCS, the Red Sox mount an impressive comeback against the Tigers, highlighted by David Ortiz's game-tying grand slam in the 8th, and a game-winning single by Jarrod Saltalamacchia that drives in Jonny Gomes in the bottom of the 9th at Fenway Park. The Series is now tied at one game each.
- The British Baseball Hall of Fame inducts its fifth class: players Peter Crook, Brad Thompson and Ray Reynolds and writer-historian-executive William Morgan.
- 2014 - The Diamondbacks hire Chip Hale to be their new manager; they had fired Kirk Gibson with three games to go in the season, part of a wholesale series of changes dictated by new team President Tony LaRussa.
- 2015:
- For the first time in their history, the Cubs clinch a postseason series in Wrigley Field when they defeat the Cardinals, 6 - 4, in Game 4 of the NLDS. The Cardinals take an early lead on a two-run homer by Stephen Piscotty in the 1st, but the Cubs reply with a four-run 2nd, highlighted by a three-run shot by Javier Baez. After the Cardinals tie the score in the 6th, solo homers by Anthony Rizzo in the 6th and Kyle Schwarber in the 7th, both off Kevin Siegrist, send Chicago to the NLCS.
- Clayton Kershaw ends a five-game postseason losing streak when the Dodgers defeat the Mets, 3 - 1, in Game 4 of the other NLDS. Justin Turner hits a two-run double against his former team for the key blow.
- 2016 - The Dodgers eliminate the Nationals in Game 5 of the NLDS, 4 - 3, thanks to an epic 7th inning that takes over an hour to play. With the Dodgers trailing 1 - 0, Joc Pederson hits Max Scherzer's first pitch of the inning for a homer, ending the Nats ace's night. Dusty Baker uses five relievers in a vain attempt to try to stop the bleeding, but a pinch-hit RBI single by Carlos Ruiz and a two-run triple by Justin Turner give L.A. a three-run lead. Washington comes right back with a walk and a two-run pinch homer by Chris Heisey off Grant Dayton, who then puts another runner on base. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts doesn't mess around though: he brings in closer Kenley Jansen early, and he gets seven outs even if he walks four batters; when Jansen is out of gas, Roberts brings in his ace, Clayton Kershaw, to retire the final two batters.
- 2017 - Dallas Keuchel leads Houston to a 2 - 1 win over the Yankees in Game 1 of the ALCS by pitching seven shutout innings during which he strikes out ten opponents. The Astros score a pair of runs against Masahiro Tanaka in the 4th on singles by Carlos Correa and Yuli Gurriel, while New York's lone run comes on a solo homer by Greg Bird with two outs in the 9th.
- 2018:
- A two-run homer by Justin Turner off Jeremy Jeffress in the 8th completes a comeback from a 3 - 0 deficit and gives the Dodgers a 4 - 3 win over the Brewers in Game 2 of the NLCS. The Dodgers overcome solo homers by Orlando Arcia and Travis Shaw, and a steal of a potential two-run shot by CF Lorenzo Cain, who snatches David Freese's hit over the outfield fence in the 1st.
- The Astros benefit from some largesse from Boston's pitchers as they issue ten walks and hit three batters to win Game 1 of the ALCS, 7 - 2. Four of Houston's five hits drive in at least a run, including a pair of 9th-inning homers by Josh Reddick and Yuli Gurriel that provide four insurance runs. Justin Verlander also temporarily loses the plate, issuing three walks and a wild pitch in the 5th to allow the Red Sox to tie the score at 2, before a hit batsman, an error and a well-timed two-out single by Carlos Correa off Joe Kelly puts Houston ahead to stay in the 6th.
- The Huskies de Rouen remain the dominant team in French Division I, sweeping the Cougars de Montigny in this year's finale. Only a hit by Maxime Nutte prevents a perfect game by Owen Ozanich, who pitches the Huskies to victory. Gerwuins Velazco's two-run homer provides all the offense.
- 2019 - Carlos Correa hits a walk-off homer off J.A. Happ's first pitch in the 11th inning to send Houston to a 3 - 2 win over the Yankees in Game 2 of the ALCS. Aaron Judge puts the Yankees ahead with a two-run shot off Justin Verlander in the 4th, and George Springer ties it with a solo shot off Adam Ottavino in the 5th before the pitchers take over.
- 2020:
- Just before the start of Game 2 of the NLCS, the Dodgers have to scratch scheduled starter Clayton Kershaw with back spasms, putting rookie Tony Gonsolin in his place. He is perfect through the first three innings, but then gives up a two-run homer to Freddie Freeman and the Braves are in business. They eventually build a 7 - 0 lead before the Dodgers mount a furious comeback, with a three-run homer by Corey Seager in the 7th, and four more runs in the 9th. Mark Melancon finally closes out the 8 - 7 win with the tying run on third base as the Braves take a two-games-to-none lead in the series.
- In the ALCS, the Rays continue their domination of the Astros with a 5 - 2 win in Game 3, scoring all their runs in the 5th when they take advantage of a throwing error by Jose Altuve - his third of the series - and wildness by Enoli Paredes, who hits a couple of batters.
- 2021 - The Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame honors a special class of inductees this year, selecting 16 pioneers from Canadian baseball history who have been overlooked for enshrinement over the years, and one team. These include a few major league players (Bob Addy, Roland Gladu, Vern Handrahan and Jean-Pierre Roy), one umpire (Ernie Quigley), a number of African-Canadian players who were pioneers of integration (Jimmy Claxton, Charlie Culver, William Galloway, Manny McIntyre and Fred Thomas), one First Nations player (Jimmy Rattlesnake), Canada's best player in the AAGPBL (Helen Callaghan) and the 1877 London Tecumsehs of the International Association, the first Canadian team to win a professional championship.
- 2022:
- In the only postseason game played today, the Astros take Game 2 of the ALDS with a 4 - 2 win over the Mariners. As had been the case two days earlier in Game 1, Yordan Alvarez delivers the big blow, a two-run homer off Luis Castillo in the 6th inniing that puts Houston ahead to stay. The other game, between the Guardians and Yankees, is rained out.
- Hall of Famer Bruce Sutter, one of the greatest relief pitchers of his era, passes away from cancer at age 69.
- 2024 - The Dodgers take advantage of starting pitcher Kodai Senga's control problems, scoring three runs over the first two innings, and never look back as they defeat the Mets, 9 - 0, in Game 1 of the NLCS. Jack Flaherty pitches seven innings for the win in what is Los Angeles' third straight shutout, matching the postseason record of 33 consecutive innings without allowing a run set by the 1966 Baltimore Orioles.
