Events, births and deaths that occurred on September 11.

Events

• 1886 - At Washington's Capitol Park, backstop Connie Mack makes his major league debut as the Nationals edge Philadelphia, 4 - 3.
• 1889 - Rain prevents every scheduled game in both major leagues. For the season the National League will have 62 rainouts and the American Association 73.
• 1900 - The Giants batter P Nixey Callahan for 23 hits in a 14 - 3 win over the Chicago Orphans. In the second game, a 3 - 3 tie called because of darkness after nine innings, Chicago rookie C Johnny Kling debuts with 3 for 4 at the plate.
• 1903:
  • The Cardinals' Kid Nichols beats the Reds, 4 - 2, in the first of two games. Encouraged, Nichols pitches the nitecap as well, but the Reds reach him for 14 hits to win, 8 - 5. As manager, Nichols keeps himself in the game rather than waste another pitcher.
  • A new National Agreement signed by the National Association of minor league clubs officially organizes professional baseball under one comprehensive set of rules.
• 1905 - The Highlanders sell workhorse pitcher Jack Powell (8-13) to the Browns. Powell won 23 games in 1904, pitching 390 1/3 innings.
• 1906 - In Boston, New York's Christy Mathewson (19-9) shuts out the Beaneaters, 3 - 0, striking out nine. Today's game is the last one in which John McGraw, playing 3B, appears in the lineup.
• 1907 - Chicago's Doc White blanks the Browns, 2 - 0. However, his one base on balls ends his American League record run of 65 1/3 innings pitched without issuing a walk. He will win a career high 27 games and walk only 38 in 291 innings.
• 1909:
  • Christy Mathewson and catcher Jack Meyers are all that the Giants need in the opener against Brooklyn. Matty allows three hits in shutting down the Superbas, and Meyers clubs his first major league homer in the 2nd inning, a grand slam to score all the runs. New York wins, 4 - 0, beating Elmer Knetzer. The Superbas take the nitecap, 10 - 1, behind Bugs Raymond. Rookie Zack Wheat has his first two major league hits in the nitecap, after being collared in the opener by Matty.
  • The Athletics and Red Sox split a doubleheader, each team winning, 1 - 0. The Red Sox also pick up pitcher Jack Chesbro (0-4) on waivers from the Highlanders. The future Hall of Fame member will pitch and lose one game for Boston before calling it quits.
• 1912:
  • Eddie Collins steals six bases as Philadelphia beats the Tigers. 9 - 7. The A's second baseman will steal six bases again on September 22nd.
  • In St. Louis, Browns starter Jack Powell leaves after seven innings, losing, 3 - 0, to the Highlanders. Reliever George Baumgardner gives up two more runs in the 8th, but the Browns score four in the bottom of the inning to cut the losing margin to 5 - 4. The New York Times reports the loss to Baumgartner, who pitched poorly.
• 1914 - At the Polo Grounds, Christy Mathewson stops Brooklyn on seven hits and the Giants schmeer Charlie Schmutz, 3 - 0.
• 1915:
  • Eddie Plank of the Federal League's St. Louis Terriers wins his 300th game as he defeats the Newark Pepper 12 - 5. The future Hall of Fame member (1946) is the ninth player and first southpaw to reach this milestone.
  • The Reds pepper Christy Mathewson for ten hits and Lefty George shuts out last-place New York to win, 4 - 0. Lefty will pitch into the 1940s, and will set the Eastern League record for wins (165) between 1923-1933.
• 1917:
  • The Giants sweep the Robins at the Polo Grounds. New York takes the opener, 3 - 2, by scoring the winning run in the 10th on George Burns' inside-the-park homer. They do it again in the nitecap, scoring two runs in the 9th to beat Jack Coombs. Pol Perritt, with relief help in the 9th, wins.
  • Walter Johnson allows just two hits to beat Dutch Leonard to give the Nats a 4 - 3 win over the Red Sox. All the runs are unearned for Boston.
  • At Wrigley Field, Military Day is celebrated by a double victory for Chicago over the Reds, with Hippo Vaughn credited with both wins. Vaughn starts the opener and retires after an inning with his team ahead by three runs. The Cubs win, 6 - 5, with Vic Aldridge allowing two runs in five innings. Aldridge will eventually get credit for the win and not Vaughn. Vaughn then goes nine innings in the nitecap, striking out nine to win, 5 - 1.
  • Stan Coveleski allows just three Detroit hits and Jack Graney scores the only run as Cleveland wins, 1 - 0.
  • White Sox pitcher Jim Scott is admitted to the reserve officer's training camp at the Presidio in San Francisco, CA. Death Valley Jim was 6-7 this year, his final season.
• 1918 - The Red Sox win the World Series in Game 6, on Carl Mays's second victory, a 2 - 1 three-hitter. With two on and two out in the 3rd, utility OF George Whiteman lines a hard drive to right field. Max Flack drops it, allowing the only runs off Lefty Tyler. Righty Claude Hendrix, 20-7 during the year, finally makes an appearance, tossing a final inning for the Cubs. Cubs pitchers compile a 1.04 ERA, while Boston's .186 BA is the lowest ever for a World Series winner, but they compensate by making just one error, a record not beaten this century in a six-game World Series. The Red Sox will realize $1,102 each, the Cubs $671, the smallest winner's share ever earned. The inning by inning results of the game are relayed to Fort Devens, MA 58 miles away, via nine homing pigeons.
• 1921 - The Giants whip Brooklyn, 11 - 3, behind Fred Toney in relief of Phil Douglas. The win moves the Giants into first place ahead of Pittsburgh.
• 1922 - The Browns are down 4 - 3 to the Tigers in the 9th, but a walk and a George Sisler triple tie the game. Marty McManus lines a single to win it, 5 - 4, for reliever Hub Pruett. Sisler falls on his shoulder in the 7th stretching for a ball but stays in the game.
• 1923:
  • Minor league head Michael Sexton fines the president of the Norfolk club $1,000 and suspends the team indefinitely for an attack on the umpire. Sexton also accused the Virginia League president of laxity in that this is the second attack on an ump in the league this year. Since the season is closed the suspension of the team does not affect the standings.
  • After Yankee leadoff hitter Whitey Witt reaches first base on a controversial infield hit that is ruled a single, Boston P Howard Ehmke retires the next 27 batters for a 3 - 0 win, his 20th of the year. The Yankee crowd exhorts the scorer Fred Lieb to reverse his call on the hard grounder that 3B Howie Shanks booted, but the one hit stands. Ehmke has now given up just one hit in his last two games.
• 1926 - Cleveland sweeps two from the Nationals, winning 8 - 1 and 3 - 2. In the opener, Walter Johnson serves a two-run homer to Tris Speaker in the opening inning.
• 1927 - After losing 21 in a row to New York, the Browns win their last meeting, 6 - 2, behind Milt Gaston's five-hitter. No team has ever swept a 22-game season series. One National League team, the 1909 Cubs, went 21-1 against the Doves.
• 1928:
  • At the Polo Grounds, the Giants take two games from the Braves, 11 - 6 and 7 - 6. Freddie Lindstrom goes 8 for 10 to pull New York into second place, two and a half games behind St. Louis. The Giants will continue to feast on Braves pitching, winning doubleheaders from Boston on the 13th and the 14th to tie the National League record for twinbills won on consecutive days.
  • In the Yankees' 5 - 3 win at Yankee Stadium, Ty Cobb makes his last appearance as a batter, popping out against Yankee Hank Johnson to SS Mark Koenig as a pinch hitter in the 9th. Babe Ruth's two-run clout, off Lefty Grove in the 8th, seals the win for New York. The Bronx Bombers seal the fate of the A's with their fourth straight win over the Quakers, leaving the Mackmen in second place, two and a half games back.
• 1932:
  • The New York Yankees clinch the American League pennant with their 100th victory, as George Pipgras defeats the Indians, 9 - 3, at Cleveland.
  • Joe Schultz, Jr., 14-year-old son of Houston (Texas League) manager Joe Schultz, is inserted into a game against Galveston as a pinch hitter. He hits a single, steals second and third base, and scores a run. Fritz, the black batboy, also bats, but is fanned by Hank Thormahlen after trying to sacrifice.
  • The Cardinals sign Branch Rickey to a five-year contract as general manager and director of the farm system.
• 1933 - Johnny Marcum pitches his second shutout in just his second major-league start, as the A's beat the White Sox, 8 - 0. With the shutout, Marcum ties the mark of Slow Joe Doyle in 1906.
• 1935 - The rampaging Cubs beat the lowly Braves, 15 - 3. Bill Lee coasts to the win.
• 1936 - Hod Lisenbee of the Philadelphia A's ties a major league record for hits allowed, giving up 26 in a 17 - 2 rout by the White Sox.
• 1938:
  • Frank Frisch is fired as Cardinals manager, and Cuban-born coach Mike Gonzalez takes charge.

• 1940 - In a doubleheader, the Yankees' first-game win at Cleveland puts them in first place, the only time they reach that spot. A second-game loss drops them out of first.
• 1942 - Ed Freed of the Philadelphia Phillies collects one single, two doubles, and a triple in his major league debut, but the Reds win 8 - 5 in 11 innings. The 5' 6" Freed will total only ten hits during his brief big league career.
• 1946 - The Reds and Dodgers play the longest scoreless tie game, 19 innings, at Ebbets Field. The Reds' Johnny Vander Meer pitches the first 15 innings, striking out 14.
• 1947 - Ralph Kiner hits three successive home runs for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He hits two in the 9th against the Giants' Larry Jansen, as the Pirates lose.

  • In St. Louis, New York's Dave Koslo wins the opener of a twinbill, 10 - 5, ending the Cards' seven-game win streak. Bobby Thomson has three hits and Monte Irvin has a double and his fifth steal of home this year. He has 13 steals overall. Leading 6 - 4 in the 9th, Wes Westrum breaks an 0-for-20 skein and delivers a grand slam. The Cards win the nitecap, 4 - 3, behind Cliff Chambers to leave the Giants six games in back of the Dodgers.
• 1955:
  • Red Sox outfielder Ted Williams collects his 2000th career hit in a 5 - 3 loss to the Yankees.

  • In a move to shore up their pitching down the stretch, the Yankees buy Gerry Staley from St. Louis for the waiver price.
• 1956:

  • Frank Robinson ties the National League record for home runs by a rookie with 38 in an 11 - 5 Redlegs win over New York.
• 1958 - Orioles manager Paul Richards lists three pitchers in his starting line-up, hoping for a scoring chance in the 1st inning, at which point he can remove the extra pitchers for a batter of his choice. The three are Jack Harshman in CF, batting fifth; Milt Pappas at 2B, batting seventh; and Billy O'Dell, batting ninth at P. Only O'Dell bats as he goes to 14-11, losing to Kansas City's Ned Garver, 7 - 1. The A's plate five in the 8th, paced by Bob Cerv's 33rd home run.
• 1959:
  • Los Angeles defeats Pittsburgh and Elroy Face, 5 - 4. It is Face's first loss after 22 straight wins, 17 of them in 1959. He will end the year at 18-1.
  • The Phillies' Robin Roberts beats the Giants, 1 - 0, on a three-hitter. Roberts also gains revenge on Willie McCovey by ending McCovey's consecutive-game hitting streak at 22 games. Phils CF Richie Ashburn holds the rookie record of 23 games.
  • The Orioles whitewash the White Sox twice, 3 - 0 and 1 - 0. Jack Fisher and Jerry Walker hurl the shutouts.
• 1963:
  • Whitey Ford tops the host A's, 8 - 2, as Mickey Mantle's homer in the 1st provides all the scoring Whitey needs. Mantle is 3 for 4 with four RBIs.
  • Angels pitcher Aubrey Gatewood beats the Red Sox, 4 - 1, for his first major league win. Gatewood was drafted by the Angels in the 1960 expansion draft, then drafted by the Mets a year later in the 1961 Rule V draft before being returned to the Angels.
  • At Crosley Field, the Reds score nine runs in the 4th en route to a 14 - 3 thrashing of the Braves.
• 1964:
  • Bob Gibson holds the Cubs to two hits, and the Cards win, 5 - 0. Ken Boyer's 22nd homer starts the Birds' scoring.
  • After rookie Wally Bunker (16-4) gives the Orioles a 5 - 2 win, Kansas City's bonus baby John Odom stops the O's, 8 - 0, on two hits. The split shaves the Orioles' lead to a half-game over the White Sox.
  • Angels reliever Bob Lee fractures his right hand punching a heckling sailor in Boston.
  • The Phils' Dennis Bennett stops the Giants, 1 - 0, defeating Juan Marichal. Ruben Amaro's double scores the lone run and keeps the Phils six games ahead of the Cards.
  • In a pitching duel between the Braves' Denny Lemaster and the Reds' Jim Maloney, Milwaukee scores a run in the 8th to win, 1 - 0. Gene Oliver doubles, the second hit of the game off Maloney, and scores after a double steal and fly out. Leo Cardenas has the only hit off Lemaster.
• 1965 - Tony Cloninger's one-hit, 9 - 0 win is Milwaukee's second straight one-hitter against the Mets, tying a major league mark set 48 years ago. Wade Blasingame, Billy O'Dell, and Phil Niekro combined the day before for a 3 - 1 win. In today's win, Hank Aaron has two hits, a stolen base, RBI, and run scored before leaving for pinch hitter Johnny Blanchard.
• 1966:
  • Los Angeles regains first place, winning 4 - 0 and 1 - 0 behind Sandy Koufax and Larry Miller while Houston suffers its third and fourth consecutive shutouts against the Dodgers.
  • John Miller becomes the first Yankee to ever hit a homer in his first major league at bat. He contributes two runs in a 4 - 2 defeat of the Red Sox at Fenway Park. It will be Miller's only homer in pinstripes, but as a Dodger in 1969, he will hit a homer in his last major league at-bat as well.
  • Braves pitcher Pat Jarvis becomes the first of Nolan Ryan's 5,714 career strikeout victims.
• 1967:
  • Houston ties the National League record by using eight pitchers in one nine-inning game, defeating Chicago, 11 - 10, at the Astrodome.
  • A's players agree to drop a grievance filed with the National Labor Relations Board against Charlie Finley. Finley agrees, in writing, that he will not coerce or intimidate his players, or discriminate against them for the threatened action.
• 1968 - New York's Jim McAndrew finally wins one, beating the Cubs, 1 - 0, on two hits. It is Fergie Jenkins' fifth 1 - 0 loss of the season, which ties a major league record. Despite the loss, Jenkins will win 20 for the second straight year, using a club record-tying 40 starts to do it. As for McAndrew, he had been 1-7 coming into the game in spite of an ERA of 2.53, his only other win coming in another 1-0 shutout on August 26th.
• 1969 - The Cubs take a 1 - 0 lead into the 3rd inning against the Phils when, with a 3-2 count on Dick Allen and runners on first and second, pitcher Dick Selma unexpectedly throws to third base instead of to home. The throw sails over the head of a surprised Ron Santo and the Phils' Tony Taylor scores the tying run. Selma and Santo had practiced the move but had never used it during the season. The Phils go on to win again over Chicago.
• 1970:
  • Twenty-one-year-old Vida Blue, recalled from the minors just eight days earlier, hurls a one-hit shutout as the A's beat the Royals, 3 - 0. Pat Kelly's 8th-inning single is the only hit off the fireballing lefty.
  • Sonny Siebert and Jim Palmer each pitch 12 innings, but Eddie Watt gets the win for Baltimore by pitching the 13th in the 3 - 2 win. Boston's Sparky Lyle is the loser, giving up hits to the two batters he faces.
• 1971 - At Wrigley Field, Juan Pizarro beats the visiting Cardinals, 7 - 0, with help from Paul Popovich, who clubs his first major league grand slam
• 1972 - Dick Allen's club record 34th home run gives the White Sox their only two runs as they beat Kansas City, 2 - 1.

  • Sam Ewing sets an unenviable record by striking out four times in his first major league game, as the White Sox are throttled by Nolan Ryan and the Angels, 3 - 1.
  • The Reds whip the visiting Dodgers, 6 - 3, as Ed Armbrister hits a bases-loaded double in the 8th inning to drive in three runs. Ken Griffey's three-run homer in the 4th off Don Sutton starts the Reds' scoring. The Reds push their lead to four games over Los Angeles in the National League West.
• 1974:
  • At Shea Stadium, the Mets lose a 25-inning night game to the St. Louis Cardinals, 4 - 3. Ken Reitz's two-strike, two-out home run ties the game in the 9th. Two Mets errors lead to the Cardinals' winning run, starting with an errant pickoff throw from Hank Webb that allows Bake McBride to score all the way from first. The Mets go to the plate 103 times, the only time the century mark has been reached in a major league game; the Cards are not far behind with 99 plate appearances. A record 175 official at-bats are recorded, with a major-league record 45 runners stranded. The seven-hour, four-minute marathon is the longest game played to a decision in major league history. Only a thousand fans are on hand when the game ends at 3:13 a.m.
  • The Phils top the Pirates, 5 - 3, to cut Pittsburgh's National League East lead to two and a half games. A line drive by Willie Montanez fractures the hand of Pirates' pitcher Dock Ellis, who will miss the rest of the season. Ellis is 12-9.
• 1976 - Minnie Minoso comes to bat for the White Sox after a 12-year hiatus. He goes hitless in his three at bats against Frank Tanana, but his appearance makes him one of a handful of major league players to play in four decades. His at bat in 1980 will match him with Nick Altrock as a five-decade player. Satchel Paige will also gain that status when the Negro Leagues are recognized as major leagues in 2020.
• 1977 - In Atlanta, the Braves pull off a triple steal in beating the Padres, 7 - 3. The thieves are Gary Matthews, Biff Pocoroba, and Pat Rockett.
• 1979 - In Cincinnati, the Reds edge the Astros, 9 - 8, to move into first place for good in the National League West. Dave Concepcion and George Foster hit back-to-back homers in the 7th, good for three runs and a Reds lead.
• 1980:
  • Houston takes over sole possession of first place from the Dodgers in the National League West by again beating Los Angeles, 6 - 5.
  • In a 6 - 5 win over the Cubs, Montreal's Ron LeFlore steals his 91st base of the season and Rodney Scott steals his 58th, breaking the major-league record for stolen bases by teammates in one season. Lou Brock and Bake McBride set the record with the 1974 Cardinals.
• 1981 - Ron Oester clips a 10th-inning homer to give the Reds a 3 - 2 win over the visiting Dodgers.
• 1982 - Nine months after re-signing him to a three-year, $2 million contract, the Indians trade pitcher John Denny to Philadelphia for minor leaguers Jerry Reed, LeRoy Smith, and Wil Culmer.
• 1983:
  • Los Angeles scores four runs in the bottom of the 9th to beat Atlanta, 7 - 6, and widen their National League West lead over the second-place Braves to three games.
  • LaMarr Hoyt (20-10) becomes the major leagues' first 20-game winner this season by beating California, 5 - 4, in ten innings.
• 1984 - At Baltimore, the Tigers cut their magic number to seven with a 9 - 2 clipping of the Orioles. Darrell Evans has four hits including a homer. Larry Herndon follows Evans' homer with one of his own, while Kirk Gibson has three hits and his 27th steal. Dan Petry wins his 17th. The Tigers pass the two million mark in road attendance tonight and become the fifth team in American League history to go over that mark at home and on the road.
• 1985:
  • Milwaukee beats New York, 4 - 3, to end the Yankees' winning streak at 11 games. New York now trails first-place Toronto by two and a half games in the American League East.
  • John Tudor allows three hits in ten innings for his third consecutive shutout, outdueling Dwight Gooden and the Mets, 1 - 0, to move St. Louis back into a first-place tie with New York in the National League East. Cesar Cedeno's 10th-inning homer provides the game's only run.
  • Pete Rose becomes baseball's all-time hit leader, singling to left-center off Eric Show in the 1st inning of the Reds' 2 - 0 win over San Diego. His 4,192nd career hit breaks Ty Cobb's record before 47,237 fans at Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium. Rose had tied the record at Wrigley Field on September 8th with a single off the Cubs' Reggie Patterson in a game that was later suspended due to darkness, enabling Rose to break the record at home.
• 1987:
  • Detroit's Tom Brookens homers in the 5th off Teddy Higuera, snapping the Brewer pitcher's scoreless streak of 32 innings. Higuera's mark tops Ray Searage's team record of 30 innings (August 26, 1984-April 19, 1985). The Brewers rally for four runs in the 8th to top the Tigers.
  • Howard Johnson steals his 30th base of the season in the Mets' 6 - 4, 10-inning loss to the Cardinals, becoming the eighth player ever to hit 30 home runs and steal 30 bases in a season. Mets starter Ron Darling tears ligaments in his thumb while fielding a Vince Coleman bunt during the game and will miss the rest of the season.
• 1988 - The Yankees edge the Tigers, 5 - 4, in 18 innings. Steve Shields gets the win in relief. Rickey Henderson ties an American League record for extra innings with 12 putouts in LF.
• 1990:
  • Coming off his first major league start where he threw seven shutout innings, Mel Stottlemyre, Jr. is roughed up by visiting Toronto, allowing five runs in three frames. The Jays win, 8 - 4, handing Mel his only decision in this, his last appearance. Tomorrow, he can console his brother Todd Stottlemyre, who allows six runs in five innings in losing to the Royals, 7 - 5.
  • New York beats Texas, 5 - 4, to snap pitcher Bobby Witt's personal 12-game winning streak. The Yanks score two in both the 7th and 8th innings to come from behind. Dave Righetti saves his 31st.
• 1991 - Atlanta's Kent Mercker, Mark Wohlers and Alejandro Pena combine to toss a 1 - 0 no-hitter against San Diego. It is only the second no-hitter in Atlanta history, following Phil Niekro's 1973 masterpiece over the same Padres.
• 1992 - The O's Mike Mussina (15-5) bests the Brewers' Bill Wegman, 3 - 2, as both pitchers go the distance. Cal Ripken twists his ankle running out a double, but stays in the game. The O's will recall SS Manny Alexander, but Ripken keeps the streak going.
• 1995 - At Jacobs Field, the Yankees record a rarity in their 4 - 0 win over the Indians - no assists. Jack McDowell allows four hits, walks four and strikes out eight in the nine innings as the Yanks register the third no-assist game in the American League this century. Black Jack retires the side in the 9th on three pitches. The outfield makes eight of the 27 putouts. It last happened in the major leagues in a Mets-Phils game on June 25, 1989, the only time in the National League.
• 1996:
  • Ken Caminiti breaks his own major league record by hitting home runs from both sides of the plate in the same game for the fourth time this season. The Padre switch hitter set the record last year when he accomplished the feat three times.
  • Kojiro Machida gets a base hit in his ninth consecutive appearance as a pinch-hitter. This sets a new Nippon Pro Baseball record.
• 1997 - John Olerud cycles, going 4 for 5 with five ribbies, to lead the Mets to a 9 - 5 win over the Expos. Olerud hits a bases-loaded stand-up triple in the 8th, his first triple in three years, to complete the cycle. The drive bounces off the wall, striking center fielder Vladimir Guerrero.
• 1998:

  • Kansas City's Kevin Appier makes his first start of the season, stopping the Mariners, 8 - 5. It is exactly one year since Appier's last start, at Anaheim.

  • Kevin Malone replaces Tommy Lasorda as general manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Lasorda is promoted to Senior Vice President.
  • The Cubs lose to Milwaukee, 13 - 11, with Sammy Sosa hitting home run #59 in the losing effort.
• 1999:
  • The Twins defeat the Angels, 7 - 0, as Eric Milton hurls the third no-hitter of the season. The young lefthander fans 13 and allows just two walks in his masterpiece. There are just 11,222 fans to see the game, the third smallest crowd to witness a no-hitter in the majors since 1986. The 11:05 a.m. start time is to accommodate a University of Minnesota football game at the Metrodome and the Twins offer free admission to anyone attending the game in their pajamas.
  • The Athletics defeat the Devil Rays, 5 - 4, as Doug Jones records the 300th save of his career.
  • The Astros defeat the Cubs, 5 - 3, as Jose Lima becomes the first 20-game winner in the National League.
• 2000 - The Royals double the Mariners, 6 - 3. Johnny Damon goes 5 for 5 for Kansas City, with two doubles and a home run.
• 2001 - All major league baseball games are canceled due to the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Flight #93. Games will not resume until September 17th. The Blue Jays take a 12-hour bus ride from Baltimore back to Toronto, and Yankee Stadium is evacuated as a precautionary measure. Former minor league players Marty Boryczewski, Mark Hindy, Mike Weinberg, and Brent Woodall are killed in the attacks.
• 2002:
  • The Mets and Braves split a doubleheader, with Atlanta winning the first game, 8 - 5, and New York taking the nightcap, 5 - 0. John Smoltz gets the save in the opener, making him the seventh pitcher in history to record 50 saves in a season. Smoltz will set the National League season saves record with 55, topping the old mark of 53 shared by Randy Myers and Trevor Hoffman. Chicago's Bobby Thigpen set the major league record of 57 in 1990.
  • Yankee legends Whitey Ford and Phil Rizzuto unveil a monument dedicated to the victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The team also has a ceremonial tree planting in Monument Park in honor of the heroes and victims of horrific events of a year ago.
• 2004 - As 36,887 Bank One Ballpark fans hope to see Barry Bonds hit his 699th and perhaps 700th career homer, they watch the Giant left fielder reach a different milestone. The San Francisco slugger receives three bases on balls from Diamondbacks pitchers to break his own record and becomes the first major leaguer to walk over 200 times in a single season.
• 2008:
  • Junichi Tazawa, expected to be a first-round pick in the Nippon Pro Baseball amateur draft, announces that he does not want to be selected so he can sign with a Major League Baseball club. Tazawa was named MVP of the 2008 industrial league tournament and pitched for Japan in the 2007 Baseball World Cup. He will sign with the Boston Red Sox and make his major league debut in 2009.
  • Albert Pujols reaches 100 RBI for the eighth time in eight seasons; only Al Simmons (11 times) and Ted Williams (8) had begun their careers with as long runs of 100-RBI campaigns. Pujols' Cards still fall, 3 - 2, to Chicago.
• 2009 -
  • Yorvit Torrealba hits a three-run double in the 9th to give the seemingly unbeatable Rockies a 4 - 1 win over the Padres.
  • Cuba's Miguel Alfredo González strikes out ten South Africans in a row in a 10 - 5 win in the 2009 Baseball World Cup. He falls one shy of Burt Hooton's 38-year-old record for consecutive strikeouts in a Baseball World Cup.
• 2010:
  • A walk-off home run by Alex Gonzalez off Mitchell Boggs in the 12th inning propels the Braves to a 6 - 3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. With the win, the Braves are once again tied with the Phillies atop the NL East.
  • The Rockies win their ninth straight game, 2 - 1 over Arizona, and are back in the middle of the playoff race. Tonight, reliever Matt Reynolds picks up his first major league win when pinch-hitter Jonathan Herrera drives in the winning run with a sacrifice fly in the 7th.
  • Meanwhile, in a struggle between the top two teams in the NL West, the Padres shut out the Giants, 1 - 0, to move one game ahead of their chief rivals. Tim Stauffer pitches six scoreless innings and the game ends when Pads closer Heath Bell strikes out Buster Posey and Yorvit Torrealba guns down pinch runner Darren Ford at second base on a stolen base attempt. Torrealba had earlier driven in the game's only run with a solo home run.
  • The Marlins lose, 11 - 4, to the Phillies, but Dan Uggla goes deep in the 8th to become the first major league second baseman with four 30-homer seasons.
  • Cariparma Parma wins the 2010 Italian Series for its first title in 13 years. Gustavo Martinez and Marco Grifantini combine to hold Bologna to one run in a 2 - 1 victory. Series MVP Marcos Yepez doubles home Stefano De Simoni against Jesus Matos in the 5th with the winning run.
• 2011:
  • The Rays complete a three-game sweep of the Red Sox with an emphatic 9 - 1 win at Tropicana Field. B.J. Upton hits his first career grand slam off Matt Albers in the 5th to put the game away. It is Upton's 20th homer this year, putting him in the 20-20 club alongside his brother Justin, who has also reached 20 homers and 20 stolen bases with the Diamondbacks. It is the first time a pair of brothers has reached the mark in the same season; six other brother combos have done it in different seasons. Winner James Shields comes within two outs of recording his 12th complete game, but happily settles for his 15th win, a career high. The Rays have now cut Boston's lead in the wild card race to three and a half games.
  • The Tigers win their ninth straight game, 2 - 1 over the Twins, to cut their magic number in the AL Central to seven. Doug Fister improves to 5-1 after being acquired by the Tigers at the trading deadline; he was 3-12 with the Mariners before the trade.
  • The L&D Amsterdam Pirates win the 2011 Holland Series for their fourth Holland Series title. They pound the Vaessen Pioniers, 10 - 2, to win the Series four games to one. The Series MVP is center fielder Wesley Connor, who hit .455 with 9 runs and 5 RBI in five games. In the finale, Connor goes 3 for 5 with three runs and three RBI.
• 2013:
  • Wladimir Balentien takes Kan Otake deep for his 55th homer of the 2013 season. He ties the Nippon Pro Baseball record for dingers shared by Sadaharu Oh, Tuffy Rhodes and Alex Cabrera. Balentien, who had set the Arizona League home run mark ten years earlier, led the Central League in homers the past two years, while the league juiced up the ball prior to this season.
  • The Pirates complete a three-game sweep of the Rangers with a 7 - 5 win in Arlington. A.J. Burnett is the winner and Kyle Farnsworth registers his first save in almost two years with top relievers Jason Grilli and Mark Melancon both unavailable. Meanwhile, the Cardinals stay in first place in the NL Central with a 5 - 1 win over Milwaukee after not getting a hit until the 6th inning; they still lead the Pirates by a game.
• 2014:
  • Giancarlo Stanton is hit in the face by a ball thrown by the Brewers' Mike Fiers in the 5th inning. The Marlins' best player suffers multiple facial fractures and broken teeth after lying motionless at home plate, bleeding profusely, for several minutes after the beaning and is carried away on a stretcher. Stanton was swinging on the pitch, so it is called a strike; pinch-hitter Reed Johnson completes the at-bat, and strikes out on a pitch that hits him on the hand, prompting both benches to clear. Marlins manager Mike Redmond and 3B Casey McGehee are both ejected for arguing umpire D.J. Reyburn's decision to call both pitches strikes. In the 6th, Miami pitcher Anthony DeSclafani is also thumbed, for hitting Carlos Gomez on the left elbow in a gesture that is seen as retaliation; bench coach Rob Leary also gets the heave-ho since he is now the acting manager and both benches had been warned. For his part, Fiers leaves the game after striking out Johnson and issues an immediate emotional apology, denying any intention to hit Stanton. Incidentally, the Brewers win the game, 4 - 2.
  • Alex Cobb of the Rays makes a bid for a no-hitter against the Yankees, keeping them hitless until Chris Young doubles with one out and New York trailing 4 - 0 in the 8th. Pinch-hitter Martin Prado follows with a pinch homer off reliever Brad Boxberger that cuts the lead in half. Not content with having spoiled Cobb's big night, Young then hits a walk-off three-run homer off Jake McGee in the 9th to give the Yanks a 5 - 4 win.
  • The Diablos Rojos del México win their 16th Mexican League title, sweeping the Pericos de Puebla in four games. In the finale today, they lead, 6 - 5, entering the 9th. Closer Manny Acosta nearly blows it, allowing three runs in the top of the 9th, capped by a two-out two-run homer by Jon Del Campo. In the bottom of the 9th, Sergio Gastélum and John Lindsey single and an error by Julio Perez loads the bases. Gabriel Gutierrez singles in one run. Iván Terrazas then hits a sacrifice fly to score Jesus Fabela (a pinch-runner for another pinch-runner for Lindsey; the first pinch-runner having been injured) with the tying run. In the bottom of the 10th, Juan Carlos Gamboa homers for the winning blow, the seventh home run of the game.
• 2015 - The Orioles hit two grand slams in the 8th inning in beating the Royals, 14 - 8. In the eventful inning, Nolan Reimold hits a slam against Kelvin Herrera, then Manny Machado adds a solo shot. After Chris Davis is plunked by Franklin Morales, O's manager Buck Showalter comes out of the dugout to complain and is ejected. After the bases are loaded again, Steve Clevenger hits another slam against Joba Chamberlain. It is the seventh time since 1900 that a team hits two bases-loaded homers in one inning.
• 2016 - The Japanese women's national team wins its fifth straight Women's Baseball World Cup title. They beat Canada, 10 - 0. Ayami Sato, the 2014 MVP, is also MVP of this tournament with a two-hit, one-walk complete game in the finale, while Chihiro Funakoshi drives in three and Iori Miura raps three hits. For Canada, the loss still means their second Silver Medal ever in the event, their only losses coming against Japan. The Bronze Medal game is a much closer affair between two teams that had never finished that high before. Venezuela trails Taiwan, 3 - 0, entering the bottom of the 7th and last inning, as Yu-Chen Hsu looks for a shutout. Venezuela rallies for four runs; with two outs and the bases loaded, down 3 - 2, Osmari Garcia singles in the last two runs. Maria Rincon gets the historic win.
• 2017 - In a game moved from Tropicana Field to Citi Field in Queens, NY because of Hurricane Irma, Jacoby Ellsbury of the Yankees breaks Pete Rose's career mark for reaching base on catcher's interference. It is the 30th time that Ellsbury has managed the otherwise rare manner of making it to first base. The Yankees win the game, 5 - 1, over the Rays thanks to a three-run homer by Todd Frazier.
• 2018 - With a 7 - 2 win over the Blue Jays, the Red Sox become the first team this year to clinch a postseason berth. The Sox now have 99 wins, thanks to Brock Holt's three-run pinch homer off Ryan Tepera in the 7th, and lead the second-place Yankees by nine games. They are assured of at least a wild card spot, but are obviously looking for more.
• 2019 - A three-run homer by Jonathan Villar of the Orioles in the 7th inning of their game against the Dodgers is the 6,106th long ball hit in the majors this season, breaking the record set in 2017. Homers have been hit at a record pace all year, as both the Twins and Yankees have already broken the record for most home runs by a team, and the Dodgers have set a new National League mark. New records for most long balls in a month, and most homers allowed have also been set, by the Yankees and Orioles respectively.
• 2020 - The Rays are the first team in history to start an all-lefthanded lineup in tonight's game against righthander Andrew Triggs of the Red Sox. The move pays dividends as they win the game, 11 - 1, in spite of Triggs leaving the game after one inning, due to a pinched nerve in his neck, and being replaced by lefty Matt Hall.
• 2021:
  • Corbin Burnes and Josh Hader of the Brewers combine to throw the record-breaking ninth no-hitter of the season - not counting a couple of seven-inning no-hitters. Burnes strikes out 14 batters in eight innings and Hader adds two more in the 9th as they defeat Cleveland, 3 - 0. It is only the second no-hitter in Brewers history, and for Cleveland, they break another mark by being denied a hit for the third time this season.
  • You can't keep a good man down - or in this case a good team. In the first game of today's doubleheader against the Orioles, the Blue Jays trail 10 - 5 at one point and enter the 7th (and final) inning down 10 - 7. They score four runs, the highlight being a two-run homer by George Springer, to win, 11 - 10. Then, in the nitecap, they do it again. This time, Keegan Akin holds them hitless through the first six innings and they enter the 7th down, 1 - 0, before exploding for 11 runs on 11 hits, including four homers, all three figures tying club marks for a single inning. Bo Bichette, Alejandro Kirk, George Springer and Teoscar Hernandez all go deep in the record-tying inning as Toronto wins, 11 - 2, their 13th win in their last 15 games.
• 2022:
  • The Dodgers are the first major league team to clinch a postseason spot this season, their tenth in a row, with an 11 - 2 win over the Padres. With 96 wins and a 20-game lead over San Diego, they now aim for another 100-win season, which would be their fourth in five years - not counting the 60-game, pandemic-shortened 2020 season, when they posted the best record in the majors.
  • An exciting 2022 Italian Series is down to the seventh and final game, and that game goes five extra innings, neither team scoring in regulation due to the stellar pitching of ASD San Marino's Henry Centeno and ParmaClima Parma's Emailin Montilla and Carlos Contreras. With the game knotted at one, Gabriel Lino singles off Marc-André Habeck to score Erick Epifano with the winner. Lino wins Series MVP as San Marino defends its title.
• 2023
  • Julio Rodríguez of the Mariners becomes the second player in franchise history to join the exclusive 30-30 club when he hits his 30th long ball of the season in an 8 - 5 loss to the Angels, having already stolen 36 bases. Only Alex Rodriguez, who had a 40-40 season in 1998, had previously achieved the feat for Seattle, while Julio is the second player to join the club this season, following Ronald Acuna of the Braves.
  • Mookie Betts leads off the bottom of the 1st with a home run off Pedro Avila, then clears the bases with a double in the 3rd to bring his season total of RBIs to 103, tying the all-time record for a leadoff hitter set in 2017 by Charlie Blackmon. His 12th leadoff homer of the season is one shy of the all-time record of 13, by Alfonso Soriano in 2003. In spite of Mookie's contributions, the Padres still manage to beat the Dodgers, 11 - 8, as Juan Soto and Manny Machado combine to drive in seven runs.
• 2024 - For the second time in three weeks, the Blue Jays' Bowden Francis takes a no-hitter into the 9th inning - only to see it broken up by a homer. This time, it's Francisco Lindor who breaks up the no-no, leading off the top of the 9th and tying the game. Francis then leaves the game, but his bullpen suffers a complete collapse and New York wins the game, 6 - 2. Francis is the first pitcher since Nolan Ryan in 1989 to have two no-hit bids ended in the 9th inning in the same season.
