1959 – The Tigers drop game one to the Orioles, 5 – 2, their 13th loss in 15 games, then win the nitecap, 2 – 0, despite getting just two hits off Hoyt Wilhelm. Hoyt allows two singles, but his knuckler proves elusive to Joe Ginsberg, who allows four passed balls to tie the American League record held by Gus Triandos and two others. O’s catchers Ginsberg and Triandos will set the modern major-league record for passed balls this season with 49.
