In the Indians’ 9-5 victory over the Angels at Cleveland Stadium, the teams hits four consecutive homers in an inning when Woodie Held, Pedro Ramos, Tito Francona, and Larry Brown all go deep in the sixth with two outs off recently acquired Paul Foytack. The former Tiger will become the first major league pitcher to allow a team to go deep in four straight at-bats in a single frame.

Ralph Terry of the Yankees uses just 75 pitches in a five-hitter, winning 3 – 2 over the Kansas City A’s. Terry has no walks and five strikeouts.

1963 – The Phillies tally 11 hits off the Giants’ Billy O’Dell, but the Digger shuts them out, 5 – 0.

Chicago’s Joel Horlen flirts with a no-hitter against the Senators, going 8 1/3 innings before giving up a bouncing single up the middle to Chuck Hinton. One out later, Don Lock keys a 2 – 1 Washington win with a home run.

The Mets’ 8 – 2 loss at Houston is their 22nd straight away from the Polo Grounds, and matches the major-league record set by the 1890 Pirates.

John Bateman’s eighth-inning homer at Colt Stadium will be the only run scored in the Mets’ 21st consecutive defeat on the road. The 1-0 complete-game decision to Houston is Roger Craig’s 16th straight loss, tying Craig Anderson’s dubious club record established in the franchise’s inaugural season last year.
