1933 – Cleveland’s Wes Ferrell stops Heinie Manush’s hitting streak at 33 games, as Washington loses, 5 – 4 in 11 innings.

August 26, 1933

In an effort to stop a four-game losing streak, Tigers skipper Billy Martin picks his starting lineup out of a hat for the first game of a doubleheader. The idea works as Detroit edges the Indians in the opener, 3-2, but using a regular lineup in the nightcap, the team loses, 9-2.

August 13, 1972

In their first game since Dallas Braden’s perfect game, the A’s have to use 6 relievers to grind out a 7 – 6 win over the Rangers in 13 innings. Daric Barton drives in Landon Powell, who had just stolen his first major league base on a busted hit-and-run play, for the winning run. Barton had earlier homered in the 11th, only to see Texas come back against Tyson Ross for the third blown save by an A’s reliever on the night. Ross then strikes out when forced to bat in the 12th because of an empty Oakland bench, and later gets credit for his first major league win.
