ByThis Day in Baseball

1971 – Nickel Beer Night at the Dome ends, appropriately, with a Miller. Bob Miller of San Diego tosses a 1-2-3 ninth to seal a 4-3 Houston loss. After the game, drunken fans spill onto the field, looting the Padre dugout and pantomiming pitching and baserunning until police restore order.

The Yankees kayo Pat Dobson in the 4th, beating the Orioles, 12 – 3. The loss ends Dobson’s win streak of 12 games, his nine consecutive complete games, and his consecutive scoreless inning streak of 23.
