1978 – Ron Guidry (23-3) gains his third two-hit shutout of the month, 4 – 0 over the Indians. The two Indian hits are by Duane Kuiper, the second time this year that he has recorded the only hits in a game. The Yankees ace also two-hitted the Red Sox on September 9th (7 – 0) and 15th (4 – 0). It is Guidry’s 9th shutout of the year, a Yankee record, and just one short of the American League record for southpaws set by Boston lefty Babe Ruth in 1916. The Red Sox stay one game back of New York by topping Toronto, 7 – 6.
