On July 18, 1972 — San Diego’s Steve Arlin takes a no-hitter against Philadelphia into the 9th inning before settling for a second straight two-hitter.

Denny Doyle’s single with two outs in the top of the ninth inning spoils Arlin’s bid for a no-hitter. Doyle’s hit was a bloop single over the head of 3B Dave Roberts, playing in for a possible bunt. The Philadelphia second baseman advances to second on a balk by the right-hander, scoring on Tom Hutton’s single, but the 26 year-old gets Greg Luzinski to fly out to center, preserving the Padres’ 5-1 victory at Jack Murphy Stadium.

During the season, Arlin will notch three two-hitters, a one-hitter, and a 10-inning one-hit stint, yet compile a 10-21 record.

In Game 4 of the World Series, the Mets enter the 8th inning with a 3 – 2 lead at home thanks to a good start by rookie Steven Matz and two homers by another rookie, Michael Conforto. But the Royals manufacture one of their specialty late-inning rallies against Tyler Clippard and Jeurys Familia, with 2B Daniel Murphy committing a key error that lets in the tying run. The Royals score three in the inning, and Wade Davis then pitches two scoreless innings to seal the 5 – 3 win, putting Kansas City one win away from the second Championship in its history.
